    I found this beauty today at a junk shop in Berkeley. It's porcelain and a little bit translucent. It stands just under 9 inches tall and just over 3 inches wide. i think it's a really wonderful piece and pretty old - maybe the turn of the 19th/2oth century? it's unsigned and i'm unsure if it's Japanese, Chinese or European. can anyone shed any light on this very pretty vase?

    i'm going to guess that it's Japanese, but i really don't know.

      thanks jscotto! i believe that this is a japanese piece and from the early 1900s, but would love some guidance on it.

      i heard from a pro that this was made in Japan in the 1930s.

      that's all Sandra Simon told me - 1930s, Japan.
