Is this label correct? Kutani porcelain?

    I purchased this bowl at an auction a few years ago. Is the label correct? When I was researching Kutani I remember reading something about a style with gold on a coral red background coming about around the 1820's. The label looks like it could have been on there since the 1970's so it seems plausible to me but I'm in the very early stages of learning so if anyone could help I'd be grateful. The bowl came with two identical lids (I'm assuming there was another bowl that had been broken). 20200124_092401.jpg 20200124_092435.jpg 20200124_092458.jpg 20200124_092526.jpg 20200124_093413.jpg 20200124_092444.jpg 20200124_092546.jpg

    Yes, this is Kutani. The mark reads "Eiraku" and is related to the potter Eiraku Hozen who helped to establish pottery production in the Kutani area. But this is rather a mark indicating that this bowl is done in his style and I think it dates more likely to around 1900 or even a bit later....
