Subject:Help Identify Object's Origin & Purpose
Posted By: Jerry Sat, May 14, 2022 IP: 24.209.216.178 I purchased this little frog bottle at an estate auction. The auctioneer's description was that it was made by a famous artist during the Meiji era. I bid on it because I liked it, not because of the description. I thought I would check with the Forum's experts to see if I can gain an understanding of its origin and/or purpose. |
