The era of export ware, Fujinayaki

Funaki Kiln produced wares for exportation as cheaper versions of renowned French Limoges porcelain between the Meiji and Taishō period. These products were oriented for the US and Germany; their dark green and cinnabar colours perfectly match the Limoges shape and are still beautiful to behold today. It is sad that this was the result of mutual influence with the products of Rookwood pottery in Cincinnati at the time.
