I found this bowl today. It is odd in that it has nearly no foot from the outside. Can anyone tell the age or period?

Hi Qst42know, I am sorry to say that this is a fake, it is Japanese with a fake Koransha mark, the mark is called the scented Orchid by Fukagawa, the quality is just not there, I would say it is just a few decades old.

Japanese fake of a respected Japanese maker.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge Stan.

From where I found it, it was likely a GI souvenir. It was inexpensive so no harm done.

Do you have any real Fukagawa in your collection?

Stan

Yes I have several pieces, Fukagawa is one of my favorites.
