I have a teapot made of clay I believe that most likely came from Okinawa in the late 90’s early 2000’s. I am looking to find some information on it or what it might be worth today. There is a small gold painted id marker on the bottom. Google can’t find it online. Can anyone help me out?

Hello,

It looks like “Rinsai” (林斎) to me.

This is a brand logo of a company that used to be in Saga Prefecture (the company has since closed).

三洋陶器株式会社「龍峰窯」 San yō Ceramics Co., Ltd.’s ‘Ryūhō Kiln’.

 

I’m not sure if it has any connection to Okinawa. 

It seems they produced a variety of items.

 I tried to find pieces with a similar texture from among them.

a teapot

a platter

I hope someone more knowledgeable will show up.
