This item is part of a collection we acquired from a couples estate. He was a military flier who was stationed all over Southeast Asia, Japan, Indonesia, etc..... and upon retiring the couple traveled all over China, Japan, Indonesia and Southeast Asia. They collected item's all through his Military career and while traveling. We will be offering many of these items over the coming weeks so please visit us again soon and check out my other Japanese and Chinese items. Thanks

Of course these owners had no idea the screen, chest, dish, bowl, vase, etc.... would someday be of value to collector's around the world and most show signs of wear from use and age. We do our best to give you a detailed description of an item if it has chips, cracks, etc., etc.... we list them.

Most if not all these item were hand trimmed and it is easy to mistake a bad trim job (a flaw) for a chip on the rim or foot and in the case of the rim and sometimes on the foot it will be covered with glaze.

The manufacturing flaws are another way to help arrive at a time period an item was ma...
