History of the brand
Per Gotbeborg.com
"The word Kutani means Nine Valleys and is the name of an area and a village. The two characters that make up the word
Kutani
consist of the character for "nine",
ku
and "valley". Since Kutani is a place, almost all pieces marked Kutani were decorated there even if by any of the many manufacturers or trading shops, rather than just a single factory. Porcelain decorators familiar with the Kutani style could also move around so as an example we can sometimes find pieces marked
Yokohama & Kobe
with decoration in typical Kutani style. Many Kutani made pieces might also have just the artist's as a mark, and no location at all, leading us to also needing to look at style as a clue to the origin of a piece"
