    Hello everyone, on my lunchtime thrifting adventure I pick up this beautiful vase (my photos don't do it justice!) It is Okura which I believe is under the umbrella of Noritake? I can't find out much info about Okura except seeing a few catalogues from the 1960s and 70s advertising some of the wares. Do you know when it started to be produced? This vase has a mid-century modern look to me but I could be wrong and it could be even more recent. Any info appreciated!

    Okura is listed alphabetically in the Japanese marks section. No examples but a couple paragraphs of information.

    Thank you, very useful info! I looked on Replacements as well but couldn't find the pattern. Would you think mid century perhaps?

    I doubt that this vase qualifies as a "Pattern" in the same way as tableware would.

    The design looks 1980s ish.

    Thanks. The reason I looked is because I picked up another smaller Okura vase at the same time that was on Replacements which was a blue rose pattern.
