    Hello all

    This vase has come into a local shop i help out in, they asked me to research.

    I assume its Chinese, but not sure where to place it in terms of quality or age.

    Yellow enamel on copper, handpainted and no marks, approx 12" high

    Many thanks

    It is a beauty. Dark copper and no turquoisy blue base points to Japanese. My guess is mid century.
