Hi Corey,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
This is a great piece; it's unfortunate that the market for Japanese export porcelain is not what it used to be but it has great presence and wonderful merit. The 'M' mark on the bottom is for the Morimura Bros, which was the precursor to Noritake.
Based on the photographs and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
An antique Japanese export hand-painted parcel gilt and enamel decorated vase
Morimura Brothers, Nippon, Japan, mark dates to 1911-1921
With two large landscape medallions joined by stylized decoration
12 inches high, 5 inches diameter
PROVENANCE: inherited from grandfather
$250-350*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.
Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you for using Mearto.
