Hi, I'm sorry if I'm hogging this forum with all my questions, but as a passionate asian art collector (just starting out) I am very excited and intrigued about this site. I'm inquiring about what looks to be a vanity piece? It stands approx 7" H and I believe one piece maybe be missing. If anyone has any information I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Might also be a condiment set for the table. Japanese, Taisho period (1912-26) or later, though I don't want to guess at the mark. Vanity items probably would sit on a flat tray. This style looks designed to catch drips.

Best regards,

Bill H.

You have a stand and cruet, shaker for salt or pepper, pot with dipper for maybe mustard, honey or jelly, missing piece could be another pot or shaker for pepper or salt.

Style look maybe 1920s-1930s but could be 1960s.

Good luck,
Cal
