A japanese bowl decorated with various scenic motifs, the bottom is enscribed " Presented by Vice Admiral Hyakutake 1933". The bowl measures 3 1/4 inches high, 7 1/4 inches wide and the depth is 3 inches. I cannot tell if the metal is gold, bronze or copper. A magnet is not attracted. Gengo Hyakutake was a career officer in the Imperial Japanese Navy and this bowl was presented to the governor of California. It has been in the family for 80 years. I do not know if the age of the bowl is consistant with the enscribed date on the bottom or not. I also cannot determine if the symbol that looks like a mountain on back is a makers' mark.
