FAQs

The Taisho period (1912-1926) bridges traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern Western influences, resulting in refined decorative porcelain that features both classic motifs and innovative glazing techniques.

Fukugawa pieces are crafted from high-purity white kaolin clay, fired at extremely high temperatures, and typically decorated with underglaze cobalt blue and hand-applied enamel overglazes.

Authenticity is determined by examining the fineness of the potting, the clarity and depth of the underglaze painting, and specific makers marks or kiln stamps located on the base of the vessel.

These pieces function as striking focal points when displayed on a console table or mantelpiece, either holding minimalist botanical stems or exhibited alone as sculptural objects of art.

Clean antique porcelain gently using lukewarm water and a mild, non-abrasive detergent with a soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals, extreme temperature changes, and direct exposure to intense sunlight.
