hddennis Posted March 25, 2016 Report Posted March 25, 2016 I'm traveling and don't have any way to post pictures but maybe someone can help me anyway. Just acquired 2 miniature vases with the most incredible micro detail I've ever seen. The bottoms have bright red marks that I can't tell if it is red lacquer brush strokes or wireless. I can best describe the mark as Mt. Fuji or an inverted V with a line or Ichi stroke underneath. I spent the night online but all traces of makers marks seems to have been pulled off the net?? Maybe someone has books or copies of the marks that were online last year? Thanks for any help, Howard Dennis Also can anyone suggest the best book on Japanese Cloisonné to add to my library? Quote
Fuuten Posted March 25, 2016 Report Posted March 25, 2016 A little too much to list, and nearly impossible to detect it without seeing the mark itself. Try books depending on the age of the piece, that would be my best guess. There's aren't any good signature catalogues that contain everything, generally just collections and/or other sets. Quote
hddennis Posted March 25, 2016 Author Report Posted March 25, 2016 The mark couldn't be any simpler. An upside-down V over a straight line. If the v was to fall on the line it would form a perfect triangle. Howard Dennis Quote
Fuuten Posted March 26, 2016 Report Posted March 26, 2016 If its hand painted its STILL important to see the movements. Quote

hddennis Posted March 26, 2016 Author Report Posted March 26, 2016 Malcolm, thanks for that, it has a lot of details about cloisonné I didn't know. Still would like to find information pertaining to my mark. Howard Dennis Quote
hddennis Posted March 30, 2016 Author Report Posted March 30, 2016 Malcolm, is there anyway you can help me join the 925-1000 forum? I registered days ago, didn't get any confirmation and it won't let me in nor is there any way to contact a human about my inability to join or register. VERY frustrating! Howard Dennis Quote
Baka Gaijin Posted March 31, 2016 Report Posted March 31, 2016 Hi Howard., I am not a member of the forum, I just use the reference sections which are open access. Could it be that they are processing your application? Quote
