• Active Era:Founded during the late Meiji period (circa 1890s), the studio hit its peak production during the Taisho period (1912–1926) and continued operation until the late 20th century. Based on the style and standard kanji signature of your piece, it dates to their golden era between1900 and 1930.
• The Style:Unlike historical Satsuma ware from the southern Kagoshima domain, Kyoto makers specialized in refined export pieces. Koshida was celebrated for a soft, delicate color palette, intricate nature-focused storytelling, and heavy, hair-thin gold embellishments.
• Collectibility:Koshida did not just operate a simple factory; they employed some of Japan’s finest independent decorative painters (such as the Fuzan studio) to paint their high-end blanks. Because of their superior artistry and the historic closure of the kiln, authentic early 20th-century signed pieces are highly sought after by Asian antique collectors globally.
