Description
I know very little about Nippon, but from my own research I believe this is an early unmarked Nippon moriage vase. The vase is in mint condition with the exception of a couple very tiny pieces of moriage missing (3 in total less than 1/4" each). There is very light crazing on the entire vase. The bottom rim of the vase, where the vase sits and there is no paint or glaze, the bare ceramic appears to have a slight pinkish hue to it. The vase has 2 heavily moriage birds and 2 painted lightly moriage bird, moriage lace and beading all over. I have no idea what the value of this vase may be.
