hddennis Posted Saturday at 06:05 PM Report Posted Saturday at 06:05 PM Wife recently polished this and made it harder to photograph so I apologize in advance for my poor photos. Can anyone tell me what these symbols mean and what this vase was used for? And I will tell her to stop polishing this! Thanks in advance, Howard Dennis Quote

ROKUJURO Posted Sunday at 04:07 AM Report Posted Sunday at 04:07 AM Well, that is not a contradiction in my eyes. They just used a typical Western design for their anchor emblem. Traditional Japanese ones are not made that way. Quote
