Signed on the side Yumin (Ameya Yumin) and on the base Miyamoto kinsei (specially made by Miyamoto Company) with the mark jungin (pure silver).
Ameya Yumin was born in Toyama prefecture in the late 19th century and died in 1939.  He was a pupil of Unno Shomin and later studied at Ida Yukoku's studio. He was commissioned by the Miyamoto company in Tokyo, which specialized in fine metalwork and was often commissioned for presentation pieces during the Meiji period.
Ishiarashi is a technique in which a polished surface is very slightly dulled by repeatedly dropping garnets onto it to create the contrast against the polished background.
