Japanese Antique Ceramics: History and Collecting Value
The Historical Background of Japanese Antique Ceramics
Japan's ceramic history reaches back several thousand years, but its high point came in the Edo period (1603-1868). These years saw many famous kilns, among them Bizen ware, Kutani ware, Imari ware and Kyō ware. Each kiln has a style and technique of its own, from the plain, unadorned Bizen ware to the brilliantly coloured Kutani ware, and these works reflect the cultural character of different periods and regions.
The Collecting Value of Japanese Antique Ceramics
As time has passed, many Japanese antique ceramics have become highly regarded on the market for their rarity and individuality. Their value comes not only from the fineness of the craft but also from the historical meaning behind them. Every antique piece carries the effort of its maker and the culture it came from, and so stands as a witness to history.
How to Identify and Care for Japanese Antique Ceramics
When collecting Japanese antique ceramics, telling the genuine from the false is the key. First, look at the kiln mark or signature on the piece to establish its period and kiln. Colour, the sheen of the glaze, the feel of the piece in the hand and the handling of small details are also important indications. For care, avoid direct light and clean with a dry, soft cloth.
