Chop, Seal, and Signature Resource

The gallery below represents the sum total of my Signature and chop database(as I find time to update it!) There are nearly 400 stamps here, and I have about 250 more Im trying to find time to upload. If you cant find it here….You probably are buying pots in Japan. I hope this is useful for all, I have enjoyed identifying others pots on the forums, but its best if we can all do it ourselves. Fell free to email me at Gastrognome at aol dot com about any inaccuracies or other chops you think should be added. Just hold your mouse over the picture and itll give you the name.

      Jeremy,
      I’m well aware of the Tokoname catalog list. Remember though, that’s only the Tokoname potters present in the “E” catalog. There are many Tokoname potters not represented there.
