Re: Japanese Vase

Items with country of origin marks such as "Made in Japan" generally postdate the mid 1920's. Japan marked their export pieces " Nippon" from 1891-1921. "Made in Japan" pieces generally date from the late 1920's through to World War Two. This example is a Japanese copy of Chinese Export "Famille Noir" porcelain comparable examples sell at auction for under $150.00. Lovejoy
