[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 347881, member: 308"]Can't help as much on these except to say I believe the orange and white vase is a Japanese import. I love the bird and the owl but haven't seen them before. Just a couple of more general pointers to help you get your items identified. 1. It's best not to post multiple groups of items. Some of the folks that saw your first group will assume they've already looked at your post and not realize you just added three more items. Best to start a new thread for the new items. 2. Size matters - please include at least rough measurements. I'm assuming that your owl is about 4 or 5" tall but it could be anywhere from an inch to a foot and that could make a huge difference in making an ID. 3. Most of your pictures are beautiful but it's best if the background is plain. The picture of the orange and white vase on the patterned tablecloths is distracting. 4. Please put glass or pottery in your thread titles. Some folks are generalists like me but others have a truly astounding depth of knowledge in specific areas. A descriptive title helps make sure the right experts see your items. Please note these are just suggestions and not rules. There are folks on this board who are absolutely amazing and can tell you all kinds of things from one blurry photo but there are others of us who need as much help as we can get. We'll work with what we got but anything you can do to help us is much appreciated. Don[/QUOTE]
