<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 1739463, member: 8267&quot;]I found a pair of these vases recently at a thrift store. 12 1/2&quot; tall. Ceramic bodies, but painted decoration might be lacquer. Stamped in the clay of the base &quot;Made in Japan&quot;, and no other markings. I am hoping someone here can give me an idea of the date (assuming after the 1921 laws requiring the &quot;made in Japan&quot; wording), and more specific place of manufacture based on the style and decoration. Any other info always appreciated.</p><p>They show some wear on the surface, and the previous owners did not bother to move them from the mantle when they painted the room so there are many small specks and smears of paint. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/mad.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" /> But at $4 apiece I thought they might be worth something, particularly as a pair.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]238308[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]238309[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]238310[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]238311[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
