<p>[QUOTE="ascot, post: 194564, member: 96"]Thank you, evelyb30. I really thought the vase was real. I contacted the buyer and asked why she thinks it's a fake. She said that the mark is wrong, that the H in hand painted is too fat at the bottom. She also said the vase is too heavy for Nippon, and that she could feel tiny bubbles in the glaze near the mark on the underside of the vase and that real Noritake would not have glaze bubbles (I don't see any in my photo of the base, but she says they're there). In my google search on fake marks, it says that the wreath mark has been accurately reproduced and that it's virtually impossible to tell an old mark from a new one. I'm hoping someone knows this shape and/or pattern.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
