Thank you for your interest in Japanese Ceramics! Please email me if you would like to suggest a link to a website or homepage related to Japanese ceramics that is not mentioned on this site. I also welcome help finding broken links.

    Unfortunately, I cannot provide advice on the authentication, identification, or appraisal of ceramics. I recommend that you contact a local potter with experience in Japan, a museum curator who works on Asia, or a ceramics dealer.
