Fukagawa Seiji porcelain originates from Arita, Japan, established by Chuji Fukagawa in the late 19th century, known for supplying the Imperial Household and gaining international acclaim at world expositions for refined artistic ceramics.

These pieces are crafted from high-fired kaolin clay, featuring underglaze cobalt blue and overglaze enamel painting, often enhanced with intricate gilding and detailed hand-painted motifs.

Authentic items typically feature specific maker marks on the base, most notably the Mount Fuji with a stream symbol or variants of the Fukagawa family signature, alongside characteristic glaze quality and hand-painted precision.

These objects can be mounted on walls using specialized plate hangers, displayed on wooden stands on mantelpieces, or integrated into cabinet displays to introduce historic pattern and colour to modern rooms.

Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth or wash by hand in lukewarm water using mild detergent if necessary, avoiding dishwashers, abrasive materials, and direct exposure to prolonged strong sunlight.
