I didn't realize how fragile these things are! it's a miracle they survive at all. i think this one was used for flowers for a long time as there are hard water stains on it. i don't know how to remove those. i scrubbed it up a little and realized i had removed one of the pearl earrings and a little paint. yikes! i don't know anything about these except i see them come up on ebay alot.
i got this for $1.99 at Goodwill today.
good deal....congrats
These vases go for silly money here. I love them, but don't have any.
I think some of the colours have been cold painted which is why it comes off so easily.
Typical of 1960s Japanese pottery made for the west - I have lots of figurines with missing paint.
If you wanted you could redo her with some enamel or hobby paint.
thanks kerry and lisa! i may try it lisa, if i get brave enough to try to match the colors. that's not so easy!
