PY / Miyao• About the pottery company
– Official name = Miyawo Company Limited (Miyao) – Began in 1931, but not introduced to American until after WWII – Came from Yokkaichi, Japan through many different distributors (i.e. Napco,
UCAGCO, etc) • About the PY mark
– Stamped in green PY and/or Miyao – Source unknown
• “P” = pottery • “Y” = Yokkaichi
– Many sets unmarked • Making identification difficult or even impossible to determine with certainty
• About distinguishing features – Heavy glaze made from glass particles – Eyes are the most distinguishing feature
• We will see many examples throughout this presentation
