Vintage Miniature Japanese Noritake Vase

Vintage miniature japanese noritake vase is a delicate porcelain antique dated back to the late 19th century. “in 1876, japanese businessman ichizaemon morimura and his brother toyo opened the morimura brothers shop in new york city to sell asian antiques and decorative arts in the u.s. The shop was successful, but the brothers continued to look for new products for the american market. They knew that china and porcelain were used in every home for dining, washing up, or displaying the family’s good taste with decorative pieces, but european factories had production locked up.” Source: https: //antiques.lovetoknow.com/antique_noritake_china. The antique is in good condition. Shows no cracks nor chips. It does have its golden contours slightly faded and blurred as seen in picture.
