Translation help please... - 01-12-2009, 06:37 PM

Kinda feel dumb asking this question as first post. I have been learning japanese slowly on my own. Any way I have found this image and I am unable to read it myself. So if any one would be able to help me I would love it! Thanks

These are images of text I found on a old vase of my grandmothers. I never knew she even had it and id like to know who made it. So I might be able to see where she got it from.

The upside-down image at the bottom does sadden me but it says:

九谷陶和 Kutani Touwa

Kutani is the name for the celebrated line of porcelains produced in Ishikawa Prefecture. Touwa should be the name of the company that made the vase.

Just because I was necessitated to do a handstand to read it.
