Subject:Chinese or Japanese Planter
Posted By: Shelley Leonard Wed, May 20, 2015 IP: 70.199.137.166
I am trying to find out something about this pot, its mark, age, purpose, and is it Chinese? Thank you for any help

It's Japanese - the mark reads 'Ishimitsu'. Found two other similar items at Japanese online auctions, both with a blue and white decoration, signed by this maker. Both sellers refer to Imari ware but no date is given. I presume Meiji or Taisho period.

I'm no ceramics expert but its form suggests a Korean origin to me, cf:

The signature is 石光.

This signature has popped up here on pottery in the past (link), with a more or less empirical judgment that the piece was Japanese and the mark is the surname Ishimitsu. Perhaps other current contributors on Japanese topics could weigh in.

Best regards,
