RARE ANTIQUE Japanese 2 Handle Vase HAND PAINTED MORIAGE W/Gold Decoration
Item History & Price
Beautiful Vase with heavy Moriage raised design work. I don't see any obvious missing Moriage areas or damage. See photos for actual condition of vase. I am not a collector of Nippon but my Parents and older Brother were, this is from one of their estates.
NOTE: This piece is "unmarked so it may pre-date th...e Nippon Period, post date it or was never marked, according to Joan F. Van Pattern in her book "The collector's Encyclopedia of Nippon porcelain, Third Series".(page 12 under Moriage) She suggests using good judgement when buying an unmarked piece.
The vase Measures 9" Tall x 6" Wide (approx.) Some translucency when held up to light. Thick base.
