Subject:identify pierced Asian ceramic vase and marks
Posted By: David Sat, Oct 15, 2011 IP: 99.255.148.231

Hello, I have a pierced Asian ceramic vase? of which I would like to have both the characters and the item itself identified. Any assistance with this query would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time. David.

This is Japanese but not all of the characters are clear enough for me to take a stab at its maker's name. I've seen similar pieces described as everything from a cricket cage to a candle stand to an incense burner. The decoration suggests the piece might date to around 1900 or later, but more serious collectors of Japanese ceramics might have better ideas.

Best regards,

Bill H
