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.
