Mark: <i>Mokusen</i>. The seal mark on the side, suggested to be read either as <i>Sei-yo</i> or <i>Sho yo</i>. On the base a paper label saying &#039;Shirokiya&#039;, currently a Honolulu department store with a long Japanese history. The vase tentatively dated second half of 20th century.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]506252[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
