Is this miniature pitcher older Kutani? The mark is a bit worn but it looks like Kutani, and so does the work. Is this a "name" pattern, e.g., eight scholars and poets? Thank you! Kaaren

Hi Kaaren, this looks like a later piece, maybe from the 30's judging by the bottom foot and decoration, it is certainly Kutani which means "Nine Valleys" it looks like the men figures are playing some kind of a game, not Immortals, Maybe Scholars.

Thank you both! I thought Eight Scholars because there are eight men, only one's face is slightly rubbed away so it's hard to see him. But I counted.

I picked this up in Habitat for Humanity in NJ for . . . eight dollars. So, Eight Dollars for Eight Scholars . . . :)
