This piece belonged to my Dad and Mom. They were stationed in Japan for years following WWII, but it doesn’t appear to be Japanese. I have found many items by researching online, but I have spent hours trying to figure this one out to know avail. Any help would be appreciated. The vase stands approx 9 1/2 tall. and is signed on the bottom. See attached photo.
Are you sure they got this vase in Japan ?? The signature is not Japanese !! Could be a studio piece by an independent or Just made there by a westerner !! Can`t tell what the signature is but it is not Japanese characters !! Could also be a Japanese potter that used western signature !! It does not have anything distinctive enough to search for a similar vase !! Just a shape on the side !! Can`t even tell what it is supposed to represent !!
