Description

Pair Occupied Japan Vases

This pair of hand-painted porcelain vases, featuring intricate bird and floral designs in bold red, green, and yellow hues, is a fine example of Japanese export craftsmanship from the post-World War II era. Both vases are marked with Japanese kanji and stamped "Made in Occupied Japan," indicating that they were produced between 1945 and 1952, during the Allied occupation of Japan.

"Made in Occupied Japan" items hold historical significance and are highly collectible, as they represent a specific period in Japan's history when the country was rebuilding its economy by producing goods for export. These vases are typical of the period, where skilled artisans created finely detailed pieces with vibrant colors designed to appeal to Western markets.

Regarding Occupied Japan marks, the use of this stamp was mandated for all items produced for export during the occupation, making them both historically and economically significant. The stamp guarantees that the items were made during this brief but important time frame, adding to their collectible value.
