Posted By: Bill H Sun, Mar 23, 2014 The mark says "Kinkozan", the name of a well-known and prolific studio, active in Kyoto circa the Meiji Period (1868-1912). Compared to their better quality work (link), your lamp would rate as about average, which suggests to me it may have been made late in the life of the company, when its resources were being stretched to meet export demands. |
