Heavy 12” Japan Square Vase
The selected region highlights a vintage Japanese square porcelain vase featuring a striking navy blue and white motif.
The design portrays an auspicious scene of flying red-crowned cranes (tsuru) over stylized sea waves (seigaiha). Pieces with this exact pattern are highly collectible and were famously produced mid-to-late 20th century in Japan by decorators such as Elan Takahashi (distributed in San Francisco) and for major retailers like Hudson's department store.

The seal contains four Kanji characters, divided into two columns to be read from top-to-bottom and right-to-left:
• Right Column: 正峯 (read as Seihō or Shōmine)
• Left Column: 窯業 (read as Yōgyō, meaning "Ceramics" or "Pottery Industry")
Together, it reads 正峯窯業 (Seihō Yōgyō), referring to the Seihō Ceramics/Pottery Company.
