Here I have a very Stunning Antique Nippon Vase that I purchased off Etsy today. The photos and info are the sellers, which I did get permission to use from the lovely lady I purchased the vase from name Karin at TimeSpanTreasures.
I will update the photos once it arrives.
It has a round squat shape with two loop handles.
It also has a Nippon blue maple leaf mark on the bottom, which dates it to circa 1891-1911.
It is beautifully hand painted with rich dark pink roses, delightful violet flowers, delicate green leaves, and gold beading and color.
There are gold beads - paint dots around the top, around the collar, and on the body, where they form a zigzag pattern between the roses and violet flowers.
This vase is approximately...
7-1/2" tall, measuring to the top of the handles. Not counting the handles, the vase body is about 6" high, measuring to the points on the top rim.
Overall it is approximately...
6-1/2" across.
3" diameter base.
NOTE
"A Humongous Thank You To My Dear Friend Mike xoxo" for this find, as he's the one who gave me the Etsy link to it.
Mike, the seller thanks you as well.
What a beauty Aims! I'm sure you have a very special spot picked out to put this. I see some updated photos coming.
That didn't take long, very nice!
Thank you pops xoxo I sure do, and I can't wait to take my own photos with the other vase.
LoL WS, I was biting my nails in anticipation of this purchase. It cost over 2/3 more than the first one I purchased but I could not resist this one. Gorgeous purple violets mixed in with the roses. Total winner for me.
I wondered if you bought it when I checked out the link in your other post earlier.
Is this going in the NEW hutch? :-)
Yes, guilty. It was me :D
Right now the other vase is in the three piece wall cabinets I picked up a couple weeks ago. I don't think I've posted them.
Thank you all so much for the loves...

Mike, I must admit... this purchase was all your fault. ;) LoL
Which I thank you for by the way. xo
I made an offer, the lady was nice enough to accept. We were both pleased.. She actually told me to thank you for sending me the link.
I'd not heard of Nippon before. This is lovely, love its shape & the flowers are sublime.
