These genuine, antique (100 years old or older) Noritake vases are from my grandfather's collection (he passed in 1945). They are a matched pair, with hand painted floral designs on two sides. I'm not an expert but I don't see any flaws on these two pieces. No country-of-origin markings so I'm told these are likely pre-1921 (maybe turn of the century). My grandfather was a well-known Los Angeles area attorney (and Law Librarian of Congress) who represented Japanese American families that faced internment in 1942. The vases were offered as part payment for his legal services. Grandpa had great sympathy for the families he represented, he was a public figure that was well known for his open-minded views on race and culture.
