It is believed that Kutani ware was first manufactured in what was the Kaga Province of Japan in the seventeenth century, supposedly inspired by the techniques used at Arita. However production of Kutani ware ceased towards the end of the 17th century, and it was not until the 19th century that production was revived. The objects produced during the short period of about 60 years that the kilns were in production in the 17th century are called ko Kutani, but objects from this period rarely appear on the market. The items sold as Kutani, also known as Kaga-style wares, are from the 19th century. The colours used included a brownish red, muddy yellow and intense green, on a greyish ground. Many different porcelain products were made, mostly for the Western market, including tea and coffee sets, dishes, bowls, incense burners and small decorative items.
