Hi...I recently inherited a blue and white pitcher that my mother bought at a garage sale back in the late 1960's or very early '70s. It says that it is Arita Ware on the bottom of the pitcher. I do have the top to the pitcher but it's wrapped up and in storage.I want to know if this is really Arita Ware? I am assuming it is the 20th century but can anyone please tell me possibly what decade? Also what the value might be. Thank you for your time.

Pitcher made no more than 10 years before garage sale. No one would make 'fake' of such item.

No special 'market value', probably about what was paid at garage sale.

Special 'market value' is for antiques or antiquities or items very special hand making. Pitcher such as you show and other tableware made for dinnerware made in hundreds of millions by Japanese factories.

Do internet search 'Arita porcelain' you get idea.

Good luck,
Cal
