What is Fujiyama?
Fujiyama is a line of art pottery produced in 1905 by the Roseville Pottery Company in Zanesville, Ohio.

Who designed Fujiyama?
The Fujiyama line was designed by Gazo Foudji, a Japanese artist who migrated to Zanesville and worked as a designer for the Roseville Pottery Company.

In 1905, The Roseville Pottery Company welcomed a new talented designer into their growing endeavor. Gazo Foudji was a Japanese-born artist, and as soon as he arrived he began experimenting. His experiments were mostly hand-carved, partially glazed, and colored with enamel decorations. These pieces often carry a cursive ink-stamp on the base "Fujiyama". The forms used were usually standard Rozane shapes, and many of them appear to lay the groundwork for the Woodland lines.

When was Fujiyama made?
The Fujiyama line was produced in 1905.

There are no known catalog pages for Fujiyama, but nearly all are marked with the cursive"Fujiyama" ink-stamp as shown below.

The designs can be described as a foundation for the Rozane Woodland line, where inscribed designs are colored with enamels. The backgrounds are usually Matt, or "Buff", and punctuated by pinpoint dots. The line itself appears more experimental than most, with each piece a unique work with little to no duplication.

Since there is no reliable list of the known shapes and designs, all that can be provided are examples.
