If anyone has information concerning this Vase, I would very much appreciate the info.
It is about 19 inches H, 25inches Dia at the largest, and 16 inches at the base, there are no markings on the base. I am only told it was a Worlds Fair in New York, I would think maybe late 1800 – 1930.

The vase is Japanese, and Japanese ceramics makers certainly were well represented at late-19th and early 20th century world trade fairs and expositions. Absent any other provenance, I'd usually estimate the age of a vase in this style to circa the first quarter of the 20th century. However, sourcing it to the 1939 New York World's Fair wouldn't be out of the question, and it wouldn't necessarily have been sold by a Japanese dealer at the event.

Best regards,

Bill H.
