    Just found this-any guesses as to what it is ? Looks vintage Japanese,it's 10 1/2" tall,base is 3 1/2" across.The motif looks to be gecko leaves and a river w/ a few plants.
    Does it function better vertically or horizontally ? Is it a stand or a screen ? All ideas welcome-Thanks ! Japan1.jpg Japan Stand 2.jpg Japan4.jpg
