<p>[QUOTE="Eileen Jones, post: 1070126, member: 12511"]Hello, my mother and her sister immigrated from Hiroshima Japan in the early 60's and my aunt cleared out houses to be demolished to make room for new building to earn money for their plane fare. She found this pot wrapped in rice paper in the bottom of a cabinet. Over the years we have tried to find out more about it but so far all we have found is that the houses being demolished were temporary housing for scientists who came to study the after effects of the bomb. Any ideas at all would definitely make me a hit at the next family get together. It is about 3 3/4" tall and 4" in diameter.</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 5516]Mystery Find by Eileen Jones posted Oct 20, 2019 at 9:13 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 5517]Side View by Eileen Jones posted Oct 20, 2019 at 9:14 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 5518]Bottom View by Eileen Jones posted Oct 20, 2019 at 9:15 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 5519]Top side view by Eileen Jones posted Oct 20, 2019 at 9:15 PM[/GALLERY][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
