Pot ID Help Please

[Watto]

I purchased this pot with a couple of other things recently and was told that it was "expensive Japanese" however I had a look through some links that were posted here before and couldn't see the mark.
If anyone could assist I would appreciate that (and if it is expensive Japanese that would be even better).

Looks like there are not many pot experts about? I originally though it might be a Hanko2 but the part on the left has me confused.

Hi Watto , mate it is a Hanko2 "2nd chop" and the first chop on the left i cant identify .

Cheers Alpine

Thanks mate your a champion. Does that make it expensive?

[Jow]

Hanko translated means stamp or signature.

The marks and pot look chinese to me.

Sorry Watto but if you paid $100-00 thats expensive if you paid $ 5-00 thats cheap. Is it valuable, to you yes.

I have Uchida Yusuke staying with me at the moment, he was looking over our pots. His favorite Australian word is NICE he has said this of many of our pots.
When pressed he justs repeats nice. He has also said that of Kilkenny and Chivers.

Pup, Joe - I'm going to need a couple of beers to commiserate now - at least tonight the excuse is ready made?

I think chinese too. i have one very similar. The chinese are stamping the majority of there pots now although, not well. It is collectable Watto, just keep it for another 50 years.

Ho Jow , mate the 2 nd mark can from "The Japanese Pot Blog" you posted here some time back , it would appear strange that a chinese mark would be included in the Japanese Pot , Marks , Chops and Signatures site ??.

Cheers Alpine

I think that is where I saw it as well Alpine, but I don't know enough to put a differing theory. But it is quite a nice pot just need something to put in it now.
