    I found this bowl at the Alameda Flea on Sunday. It sort of looks like Satsuma. There is gold and bronze gilding on it and a crackled earthenware base - like Satsuma.

      Hi ho2cultcha!
      Very nice tea bowl!
      The mark reads 'Ninsei'; though it is - of course most likely - not a work of the original Nonomura Ninsei from the 17th century. Likely it stems from one of the artists/potters in or around Kyoto, who did use this generic mark in the 19th century.
      Best regards, rain_dog
      (a general remark: As I'm no expert, please take my comments always with a grain of salt.)

      Just to add, this bowl depicts the Seven Fortunate Gods or Shichifukujin.

      A very colourful tea bowl!
