As they usually contain heavy metals like lead and cadium. The style of Satsuma you have is called &#039;kinkozan&#039; awata satsuma, but in this case lets just call it Awata satsuma, and if yours is Meiji then it is quite fine example. They are earthenware.However the mark on yours strikes me as more vintage, (It puzzles me and I am not sure.... something in how it is marked and the lack of yellow colour) Usually the Awata are signed in Kanji style. </p><p><br /></p><p>When you do get this maybe get a better picture, I think the tea pot has the shape and characteristics of meiji.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
