Re: Vase with Lid
Sorry, There was no Buddha period. This is considered a Ginger Jar. Exports from Japan had to be marked. During the period 1921-1941 porcelain should be marked "Japan" and roughly after 1941, marked "Made in Japan" (may be off on that). The sticker looks fairly recent. Pretty jar.
