Marking: The gold framed seal reading "Gold Imari Hand Painted Japan", combined with the manually handwritten Caligraphic signature in blue under glaze, certifies their origin in the traditional kilns of the Arita region adapted to postwar international trade. The extremely high manual labor involved in each piece.
