<p>[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 2477446, member: 59"]There are a number of "hand painted Nippon" marks on Japanese porcelain from before 1921 (the date after which they had to use Japan instead of Nippon to import into the US.) The few that have been connected to a specific pottery company are organized by the "symbol" if any that is part of the marking. Your mark seems to have a very faded symbol. Maybe you can see it better in person than we can see on the screen?</p><p><br /></p><p>To tell you the truth, that is one gorgeous vase and I doubt that knowing the symbol will matter to valuing it. The best thing to do is to search eBay sold listings for "hand painted Nippon vase" and look for items of similar size and fineness of decoration.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
