This is a vase that is purple in color with gray hand painted grapes and leaves. It appears to be Japanese based on the symbol on the bottom of the vase.
8 1/4 inches tall, 22 3/4 inches around at the widest part
Passed down in the family. Believe to be from Great-Great Grandfather who live in Japan in the 1800's. No other information.
