Vintage Japanese Bud Vase Takashimaya “Glory” Hand Decorated Porcelain

Bring a touch of mid-century elegance into your home with this petite Japanese porcelain bud vase. Hand-decorated with soft pink blossoms, delicate vines, and trimmed in gold, this charming piece was crafted in Japan and retailed by the prestigious Takashimaya Department Store during the 1950s–1970s. The “Glory” pattern is one of those timeless post-war export designs that perfectly reflects the era—delicate florals, fine porcelain, and just the right amount of shimmer. Pieces like this were often gifted as tokens of refinement, displayed in curio cabinets, or used to showcase a single perfect bloom. Today, it’s an ideal accent for a vanity, windowsill, or shelf—small enough to tuck anywhere, yet elegant enough to stand out. Still bearing both its original Takashimaya foil sticker and blue “Glory – Hand Decorated Japan” backstamp, this vase carries not only beauty but also history. --- 📌 Features & Details Maker: Takashimaya (Japan, hand decorated) Pattern: “Glory” Era: Mid-Century (c. 1950s–1970s) Material: Fine porcelain Design: Pastel pink flowers, gold vine detailing Size: Small bud vase (approx. 4–5” tall, bulbous body with narrow neck) Markings: Blue “Glory” stamp + Takashimaya gold foil label intact Condition: Excellent vintage, minimal wear; light interior marks consistent with age
