[QUOTE="lauragarnet, post: 55962, member: 105"]Can anyone tell if this text is Chinese or Japanese? The pictures are much larger than than actual size. I just love how digital cameras can enlarge tiny things. [ATTACH=full]14328[/ATTACH] Not sure of correct orientation on this one, so flipped the pic and am showing it both ways. [ATTACH=full]14329[/ATTACH] 2 and 7/8" tall. Clear coat crackle glaze over white. Overall width at widest part of vase 1 and 7/8". [ATTACH=full]14330[/ATTACH]Measures 1 and 1/8" across base. The vase is so tiny and the maker's mark is so carefully and neatly painted in tiny text. [ATTACH=full]14331[/ATTACH] Opening at top of vase measures 7/8" diameter to outside edges. Thin band of gold paint around the outside edges of the mouth of the vase. [ATTACH=full]14332[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]14333[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]14334[/ATTACH] The hibiscus flower seems to be a combination of decal/transfer and hand painted. The leaves show 'dots', which makes me assume that a decal was applied and then filled in and embellished by hand. But I'm not sure. Maybe those dots are hand painted as shading.[/QUOTE]
