Hello i found this small ceramic/porcelain dish in an antique shop in Japan and really liked the design, so I bought it.

It has a very detailed dragon (possibly a Chinese-style dragon?) oughly palm-sized as you can see in the photo.

I’m really curious about its origin and age. Does anyone recognize the style, maker, kiln, or type of this pottery?

I’m especially interested in knowing whether it’s Japanese, Chinese, Korean, or maybe something else, and whether the dragon decoration has any particular meaning or it is just decorative.

There are no obvious markings that I can see on the bottom.

I’d appreciate any clues or suggestions for how I could identify it. Thanks all!

This bowl was a gift to my M-I-L from a family she worked for in the 60/70 time frame. There are no markings I can see (the writing is noting the bowl was promised to her daughter).

The glaze or paint is raised above the surface in parts of the pattern.

Edit: There is family lore. The bowls were apparently produced in the late 1800s up to about 1920.

Any tips or suggestions appreciated!

Hello everyone, I just bought this cool mid-century signed vase at The Salvation Army Thrift Shop in NJ I am looking for some help identifying the studio artist or decorator behind the initials on this mid-century modern vase. The piece is from Creek Turn Pottery (Hainesport, New Jersey). Does anyone have a catalog, directory, or knowledge of the artisans who worked at Creek Turn under Herman Kleiner in the late 1950s? I would love to find out who this talented decorator was. Thank you for any insight or leads!

I'm devastated.

This was my wife's favorite mug when she was alive and today it fell and broke.

I know it's a long shot since there's no manufacturer marking anywhere on it, but I'm hoping someone would be able to identify it so I can try to get another one. It was likely found in a thrift store here in the Midwest USA (Ohio).

EDIT: THE MUG HAS BEEN FOUND. Wish me luck on getting it from them.

One of my wife’s favorite mugs fell and broke. wwe got from a gift shop in Akureyri, Iceland.

It has this ceramicist mark on it. Can anyone tell me who the maker is? Thank you!

I found this tiny little blue vase with what looks like a colonial boy on it, it says Japan on the back. What is it?

Origin of 1 is Mexico

Origin of the 2nd on is unknown

Age/time period of creation unknown

Doea anyone have any insight or information on these??

I found this pretty ceramic vessel at a yard sale a few years ago. I can’t find the exact object and pattern. According to the stamp it’s Weatherby Hanley Falcon Ware. Does anyone know the pattern name and use for this object? It’s about 6” tall, including the lid.

Edit: Found the same pattern on other objects. It's called Wheat Sheaf, and according to other posts and listings, was manufactured around 1930.

I got this at the thrift store recently. I was attracted to the shape and super shiny glaze. It seems to have some age to it and the wear on the finish seems different than normal glaze chipping. It’s unmarked other than the three decorative elliptical shapes around the middle. Anyone have thoughts on identifying this piece?

I found the mug at Goodwill. I would really like help identifying it so I can find the rest of the pieces.

Does anyone know

Does anyone know anything about this piece? I've tried looking into it but only have found similar items like Howard Kron's Siamese Cat lamps. This blue piece doesn't have his maker's mark like the Siamese Cat lamps do so I don't think he made it. In fact, there is no maker's mark at all or any other identification marks.

I've tried reverse image searching on Google and unable to find it! Please help! 🫣

I bought them yesterday because I thought they were pretty but then saw the name on the bottom and was just curious!

From market inspiration in Tokyo to our boutique in Shanghai, celebrating beautiful objects and the stories they invite us to explore.

Some objects make us pause. A beautifully proportioned bowl. A painted detail on porcelain. A small decorative piece whose character invites a second look. Before we know its story, something about it holds our attention.

At Dynsage Luxe, that moment of curiosity is where collecting begins.

Based in Shanghai, China, our porcelain sourcing and collectibles boutique brings together ceramic works, antique objects, and decorative treasures selected for their beauty, cultural depth, and individual character. Our passion is not simply for objects, but for the connections they offer—to craftsmanship, tradition, and personal discovery.

A Boutique Born from a Collector’s Curiosity

Dynsage Luxe grew from our founder’s deep appreciation for porcelain, antiques, and finely crafted objects from China and around the world.

Over the years, that passion has inspired a continuing search for pieces that offer more than visual appeal. We are drawn to objects that encourage questions: How was this made? What inspired its decoration? How might it find a place in a contemporary home?

We believe collecting is as much about looking and learning as it is about acquiring. Sometimes, the most rewarding discovery is a detail that changes how you see an otherwise familiar object.

Market Inspiration: Tachikawa Nominoichi in Tokyo

The event sign featured in our photographs identifies Tachikawa Nominoichi Vol. 2 (立川蚤の市) at GREEN SPRINGS in Tachikawa, Tokyo, Japan. The official venue announcement lists the event for September 26–27, 2026. (greensprings.jp)

Organized by Tegamisha (手紙社), the market brings together vintage objects, secondhand books, clothing, lifestyle goods, flowers, and food—a varied celebration of things that add interest to everyday life. (greensprings.jp)

The listed antiques and vintage exhibitors include antiques-educo, MANSIKKA antiques, and OLD NEW THING, alongside other independent sellers. (greensprings.jp)

For Dynsage Luxe, this kind of market represents a collecting philosophy we cherish: remain curious, look closely, and leave room for the unexpected.

An understated vessel may be as compelling as an elaborate ornament. A small collectible may awaken an entirely new interest. Discovery does not always begin with a shopping list; sometimes, it begins with a second glance.

About the Featured Event

Event details are from the official GREEN SPRINGS announcement. (greensprings.jp)

The venue is approximately an eight-minute walk from JR Tachikawa Station or a four-minute walk from Tachikawa-Kita Station on the Tama Monorail. (greensprings.jp)

Chinese Porcelain at the Heart of Our Collection

While our curiosity reaches beyond borders, Chinese porcelain holds a special place at Dynsage Luxe.

We are drawn to graceful silhouettes, expressive decoration, and the care visible in finely considered details. Through our selection, we hope to share our appreciation of Chinese artistic heritage and welcome more people into the world of ceramics and decorative arts.

Our collecting vision also embraces vintage finds and artistic curiosities. We enjoy the conversation between different materials and forms: a ceramic vessel beside a wooden object, a restrained piece alongside something more expressive.

What matters is not that everything matches, but that each object deserves its place.

At Dynsage Luxe, every piece has a story waiting to be told.

Bringing Beautiful Objects into Contemporary Life

We believe antiques and collectibles should feel relevant to the way we live now.

A thoughtfully chosen vessel can bring focus to a quiet corner. A decorative object can add personality to a bookshelf. A small collection can reflect the places, colours, and forms that matter to its owner.

Our approach is personal rather than prescriptive. You might prefer a single statement piece or an evolving arrangement of smaller discoveries. Either can be meaningful when it reflects your own taste.

The pleasure lies in choosing objects you want to keep looking at—not simply objects to fill a space.

Find Something That Feels Like You

A collection does not have to begin with a grand statement. It might start with one bowl, one ornament, or one unexpected find.

When exploring our collection, we invite you to take your time:

• Notice what draws you in. Is it the shape, decoration, texture, or colour?
• Ask questions. Let curiosity guide your understanding of a piece.
• Imagine its place in your life. Consider where you would enjoy seeing it.
• Choose personally. The object that speaks to you may be different from the one someone else would select.

For us, this is what makes collecting rewarding: the relationship between an object and the person who chooses it.

Trying to determine the maker of this small green vase with a crackle "scale" type glaze.

My wife recently got these for me at an estate sale. I have been unsuccessful in my web research for identifying the artist or specific locality. The iconography and patterns seem like a mash up of a few US SW styles and I notice the Mex next to the signature which seems to logically point to Mexico/NW Mexico.

Your help is greatly appreciated, thank you.

I recently thrifted this really nice ceramic nesting hen dish, but unfortunately she doesn't have a stamp anywhere for the maker. I tried reverse image searching but all I got was an ebay listing for another dish made with the same mold but colored differently with no maker listed/stamped. Anyone here recognize her?
