I have 3 items that look like 2 of the three are a set. The other is not. I don't have time to take fotos right now but the markings on the bottom have my curiouslty. On the bottom of all three pieces it is stamped Bambo (not bamboo) under that is some asian writing, probably japanese) and under that says OKINAWA. Any thoughts on these? I will try to take fotos tomorrow after work.

Sparkz, you make me laugh. I wish it was an opium pipe hahaha. Actually two of the items are vases. The vases are light, not heavy and are black shiny with a picture in gold and red that depicts a shrine? with trees around it The other is a big bowl black shiny with a HUGE shrimp in it. Let's see if I can describe it. It kind of sticks out as if the entire thing is reliefed. Oh GEEZ, I dont know if I am making sense. They were dusty so I carefully washed all three with dish soap and a soft sponge. The two vases came out ok but the bowl really "stunk" and it isnt very shiny anymore. HELP
