2 Vtg 30s MIJ Lustre Owl Couple Vases / Lamp Bases






 Made in Japan in the 1930s these fabulous 11 inch tall matching luster vases are in excellent condition, except that each has a hole drilled in the bottom, toward the obvious intent on converting them to lamps. Truthfully they would make wonderful lamps. They are without chips or cracks or scratches, however one of them rocks slightly. If one was going to use them as lamps, the stick on feet that keep ceramic from scratching tables, would raise the vases high enough for a cord to come out of the bottom, and solve the rocking problem on that one vase.


Adorably whimsical, each vase depicts a pair of Comic owls on a branch. The painting was done by a very clever artist.
