I truly would appreciate some help from the asian ceramics experts. I have a piece I was going to list but I can't figure out what kind of bird this is or anything about it. I am hoping that someone knows what this is without too much trouble. I have tried to put the links below (sure hope they work on the first try:


This is of the ceramic bird itself

This is of the sticker on the bottom. I know it's from Japan but what company and when???

I'm no Asian ceramics expert but I love a good mystery. The OMC Japan foil label was a bear to track down but the Pottery & Glass:Pottery & China:Pottery:Made in Japan category on ebay had a strong clue when one of the items had a made by Otagiri(OMC)Japan! line in their auction description. That yielded a google search result that had this link

This wonderful Otagiri Manufacturing Company
(OMC Japan) teapot stands 7 3/4" tall and has a delightful leaf & berry pattern on it, the sticker on the bottom says "OMC Japan" and is a rather early piece of theirs. (about 70 years old).
At least I found out what the heck OMC stands for


Here it is!

Thanks so very much! My little one was still asleep so I ran to the computer this morning, saw your message and started searching In two hours I have found that

ENESCO bought out Otagiri Manufacturing Company around 1980. That is all I have found so far.
