DescriptionThis object is a rectangular porcelain wall vase made in Japan during the post-war occupation period. The vase features a figurine of a young man wearing a blue coat and a gold-colored necktie. He holds a flower in his left hand. Two stick designs line the sides of the object, connecting the upper and lower portions. Both of these portions, along with the background behind the young man, are colored light green. A small, circular hole is visible behind the object, close to the upper edge in order to affix the vase to a wall. The top of the object is sloped slightly inward with a flat top. A large, rectangular hole is present at the top where flowers are inserted. A stamp in red text reading: "MADE IN / OCCUPIED / JAPAN."
