Otagiri Grand Iris porcelain bud vase. 7.5 inches tall, coming from the San Francisco importer, the Otagiri Mercantile Company, which imported high-quality, hand-painted porcelain and stoneware from Japan into the US from 1954 to 1994. In 1994, it was purchased by Enesco, which discontinued the Otagiri line. The Otagiri Mercantile Company was known for uniqueness and craftsmanship, while the company was based in California, products came from across Japan by various kilns, companies, and talented artists. This specific bud vase was likely imported in the 1980s.
