Unknown Geometrics


The marks in this thread consist primarily of geometric shapes--dots, lines, polygons, circles, ovals, and other assorted "squiggles"--not yet identified.

If you can identify a mark, please notify the Moderator.

Geometric 1


1a. .....1b. .....1c.

See also 1d, 1e, and 1f. The pieces are known to be Japanese in origin.

Geometrics 2, 3, 4, 5


2a. ..... 3a. ..... 4a. ..... 5.

See also 2b, 3b, 4b, and 4c. No. 3 is probably a Japanese mark--the flower form at the top looks like the usual stylized form of a cherry blossom, though seated on another geo form--but the other forms are not clear references.

Geometrics 10, 11, 12, 13


10. ..... 11a. ..... 12a. ..... 13.

See also 11b and 12b. Mark no. 10 is thought to be a Thai mark; No. 11 is a contemporary Russian mark. No. 12 is actually a Polish heraldic charge--the Odrowąż--and may indicate either the national origin or the name of the potter.
