History of Sumida Pottery.
Sumida pottery was created specifically for export between the late 1800s and the 1920s. It was still produced until World War II and briefly after the war. This colorful ware is usually heavy and covered with figures in relief. Everyday objects such as tea pots, vases, and mugs were produced. This distinct type of wares got its name from the Sumida river running near the Asakusa pottery district near Tokyo. The style of applied figures on a surface with flowing glaze was invented about 1890 by the Seto potter Ryosai I, They are often embellished with glazed plaques with hand written signatures or general good luck symbols.
