Beautiful old unmarked Japanese moriage painted porcelain bottle with woven wicket basket covering. We're not positive of the age of this piece, but we'd guess very early 1900s vintage, a true antique by American standards.

We love the painted design of leaves and acorns, and the way the gold paint has darkened to a tarnished bronze color. The basketry is nicely done, probably original to the piece. It looks good yet, without cracking or breaking.

The bottle measures about 8" tall with the china stopper in place. There's no chips or cracks or signs of use to the china. We've looked for an artist's signature, but not surprisingly have found none.
