How do you identify an Otagiri?
1 Answer

To identify an Otagiri, examine the bottom of the piece. For some items, the Otagiri name is painted directly on them in Japanese characters. You can find images of these markings published on trusted online resources to compare what appears on your piece. In addition, Otagiri wares may feature a diamond-shaped gold foil sticker that reads "OMC Japan." Unfortunately, these labels may have come off of some pieces over the years. If you have difficulty with the identification process, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can help you. Explore a selection of Otagiri porcelain on 1stDibs.
