"Kojima" Vintage Japanese Ceramic Vase Bong
"Kojima" Vintage Japanese Ceramic Vase Bong
Kojima
Vintage Japanese Ceramic Vase Bong. A gorgeous piece of ceramic in its own right, beautiful hand painted flowers along with tasteful gold details on the rim and base of the piece elevate it to another level. Easily held with a satisfying weight, this ones sure to be cherished for years to come.
Slightly speculative history of the piece: This piece is stamped with "JMSA Kojima" which I initially thought was a makers mark but after some googling seems to be the name of a Japanese warship, which leads me to believe this vase was gifted to individuals that served on it in the Japanese Coast Guard.
Measures 8" X 4.5"
Please Note: This is an upcycled piece, and has had a life previously as a household object. It may show signs of wear such as chips/crazing or staining/blemishes on the interior of the piece not removed in the cleaning process. Scars from childhood if you will.
