Kutani Hirao sei Moriyama ga 九谷平尾製守山画

Pottery Moriyama was located in MoriMachi in Shizuoka prefecture.
Moriyama Pottery was established in 1911 by Hidekichi Nakamura who was taught
pottery making by Seison Suzuki. There are currently four studios continuing the
Moriyama tradition in and around Morimachi and they are Seison, Seizon,
Nakamura and Tame. There seems to be two primary stamps: one appears to be a
crown with a wreath of leaves similar to the wreath found on the Noritake stamp.
This stamp is marked “Moriyama Hand Paint Japan.” The other is a bouquet of
flowers Morimachi’ and has been referenced to the Moriyama Factory at
Morimachi Shizuoka Prefecture Japan. (Gotheborg)
