Item Title: Antique Japanese Miniature Vase, Purple Lusterware with Gold Gilt Floral Design, Marked "FOREIGN" (c. 1(contact info removed)) Description: A beautiful and tiny antique porcelain vase featuring a stunning, deep magenta/purple lusterware glaze that shimmers with iridescence.

This mark was required on imports to the U.S. between 1891 and 1921, indicating this piece is an early 20th-century Japanese export item. Era: Turn of the Century / Early 1900s. Material: Porcelain/Ceramic with Luster Glaze and Gilt Accents. Use: Perfect as a decorative accent for a dollhouse, curio cabinet, or to hold a single miniature blossom. Condition: Very good antique condition. Minor wear to the gold gilt commensurate with age.
