<p>[QUOTE="Mill Cove Treasures, post: 148905, member: 60"]I have seen this shape or very similar with a Nippon mark. The decoration screams Nippon to me but the mark as been obliterated. 9" tall and 6 1/2" wide. Would like to know if others agree this is Nippon?</p><p><br /></p><p>I remember a discussion on the ebay board about obliterated marks. Some suggested it was done to German and Japanese pottery by dealers because of the war and the atrocities and dealers felt they had a better chance of selling the pieces if there were no marks linking a piece to those countries. I think any knowledgeable collector would know it with or without a mark, what do you think? Thank you.<img src="http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w44/Millcovetreasures/Nippon%20Vase/P1220899ps1bF_zpsfdif6qzq.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w44/Millcovetreasures/Nippon%20Vase/P1220912ps1_zps6jdfou6e.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w44/Millcovetreasures/Nippon%20Vase/P1220925ps1a_zps7pmc7nu1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
