Elegant Tall White Architectural Vase with Tiny Gray Flowers turtle ornament just honestly made and reallyJust a beauty of a vase, I'd fill this one with a flowering branch or two and it would make the room. Unsigned unmarked, it appears to have been thrown, then trimmed, so that the form is angular and the surfaces smooth. The lines running vertically articulate the vase's structure but are wonderfully irregular, and the tiny flowers here and there are just the perfect punctuation. I can't imagine this piece isn't Japanese, but I am not 100% certain.
