Early 20th Century Export Cafe au Lait Bowl
After the war, Japan focused on exports to earn foreign currency. The pottery industry was no exception, creating products for overseas markets and making a page in the history of antiques.
This item is a cafe au lait bowl made for the English-speaking world. I previously saw a similar item with Arabic writing, which taught me that it may have also been exported to the Middle East.
As for its production, it is likely from around the 1950s.
The marks from where it was detached from the kiln and small stones that exploded during firing are still attached, giving a sense of the era when production was still rough.
I believe it is from the same period as items marked Occupied Japan (1945-1951).
Compared to French cafe au lait bowls, this one is more densely fired and can be used vigorously.
For those who appreciate it, please consider it.
