The vase was thrown on a potters wheel as noted by the ridges on the inside of the piece. None the less, it probably was made in large quantities for the American market. The vase is heavily enameled and gold gilded. It is in very good, pre owned condition. There are some imperfections found and believed to have mostly been made at the time of manufacture. There are several areas where the red paint smeared prior to drying or was not filled in. The base has a small slice and fine crack on its rim. There is a dimple on the front of the vase body which was glazed over and several light scratches on the side of the piece as well. No other cracks, chips, repairs. Please look carefully thru all the photos for more detail con condition. The base is stamped, “MADE IN JAPAN” as well as a hand painted signature. This piece is from the estate of an Asian pottery collector.
