Age: 20th C. (1900s)
Origin/Maker: Arakawa Toyozo's 荒川 豊蔵 (1894-1985) Suigetsugama kiln 水月窯, Mino ware, Japan. 水月窯 kiln mark on base. Arakawa Toyozo was partly responsible for the Momoyama Revival of Mino ware, particularly Mino Oribe and Shino wares. He worked at the kiln of Miyagawa Tozan in Kyoto and later for Kitaoji Rosanjin in Kamakura. He established the Suigetsu kiln in 1946. He was given the prestigious title of Living National Treasure in 1955 for his Shino and Setoguro ware (one reason Rosanjin refused the title when he was offered in 1959 was likely because he was previously passed over in favor of Arakawa Toyozo).
