Dear Forum

I have this small box , anyone can able to tell me more about it, please?

Sincerely

The Kakiemon palette covered jar's base mark reads "Arita Kyokusui (曲水), literally "Winding Stream". Look forward to Japanese expert comment.

Best regards,

Bill H.

I did some more poking around and found one Japanese porcelain company that uses Kyokusai (曲水) as a saki cup pattern named "Winding Stream" but Romanized as Kyokusui in their online promo. See link and photo below. Don't know if this relates to tour jar or not.

Best regards,

Bill H.

Dear Bill. H


Thank you very much for your time you spent to answer me!
As I believe your first answer more likely the one , or the closest, as I have been checked the bottom one , and my porcelain quality far more better than these porcelain on the pictures, I checked the side , this company make less than a millimetre thick porcelains, like the bone china
/ transparent to light /

My one is solid thick and heavy for size , unlike the Japanese company makes.
I have been searched used the details you given me at your first message, and I found porcelains even with the similar design!
So I think your first answer more close to it !

The porcelain mark doesn't indicate the age of the porcelain?


Many thanks
Sincerely
John
