Characteristics
[edit | edit source]Tokanabe ware was typically black with a stippled texture and hand-painted raised relief designs. Some pieces were also produced in brown, gold or orange. It was stamped Nippon until 1921, when the US Congress passed legislation requiring all products manufactured in Japan for export to the United States to be marked Made in Japan.
Range
[edit | edit source]Products ranged from incense burners to bowls and vases, including standing and wall vases.
