[QUOTE="Isabella27, post: 4485596, member: 76962"]This vase was in my father's belongings when he passed away many years ago. I believe it belonged to my step-grandfather. He was an Australian POW under the Japanese and he worked on the infamous Burma railway during WWII. I think he brought the vase home to Australia with him after the war but I can't be sure. It appears to be porcelain and has a tribal design. I originally speculated that it came from an island in the Pacific due to its tribal design but discovered today that it has Made in Japan written on the base!
