Kutani porcelain was made in Japan after the mid-seventeenth century. Most of the pieces found today are nineteenth-century.
Collectors are often confused because the word Kutani has been used to describe other nineteenth-century porcelains, earthenwares, and stonewares—all of which may or may not be marked with the Japanese characters for "Kutani."
