Japanese Urn

By tropicotonic13, 16 May, 2008
Description

The piece is approx. 8 inches tall and 4 inches wide.  The acorn shaped handle to the lid is guilded in gold and the is gold guilding along the rim of the lid.  The urn itself has a colorful painting of blue bamboo shoots with the bamboo leaves and some white a pink flowers.  All the of paint is trimmed with gold along a band of gold along the base.  On the bottom of the urn are charaters of some Asian dialect (I'm guessing Japanese)  There is also a sticker that has the letters "O" to the west, "M" to the north, and "O" to the east, with "Japan" in the south.

Re: Japanese Urn

This piece is very modern, it's unlikely it predates the 1960's. Most comparable pieces sell for under $75.00.
