Japanese Moriage Vase

[bokaba]

Hi Stan, I came across this interesting vase. It looks to be in a Moriage style on pottery with panel decoration. It is unmarked. I would think first half of the 20th Century, closer to 1940s. What do you think?

I would like to see a close up of the faces and close ups of the detail, just to be sure.

Hi Stan, here are some closeups.

So you noted this also, Stan. Did you have a look at the clothing?

[Stan]

Yes, thanks Peter, the faces and clothing are Chinese, I have seen older Japanese Satsuma with Chinese figures  and Clothing, so it stands to reason that it has carried over to the 20th century, I would think this is 1st quarter of the 20th century.

Thanks Stan and Peter. I didn't think it was an early than early 20th Century.
