Kutani Japanese hand-painted vase. 

There is a Kutani mark as well as a 

CPO (Central Purchasing Office) mark. 

This mark indicates Occupied Japan, 1947-1952. 

This vase was purchased in Japan and brought 

back to the US, probably by a serviceman or woman. 

The exquisite detailing of the painting features 

pheasants and perhaps a blooming Cherry tree. 

The flowers over the cross-hatch lattice 

below the rim are Chrysanthemums. 

Note the intricate outlining of the features with gold trim. 

The background is crackle glaze. 

 9 1/2" Height x 4 1/4" Diameter 

 DS #4233-22 

There is a very innocuous repair to the foot 

of the vase (see red dot). 

Otherwise vase is in Excellent Condition, no chips or cracks.
