    i picked up this vase the other day for $1 at Goodwill. i like the cricket / grasshopper on it, but i don't like the small hole drilled into it near the base. water spilled out of it onto my desk - getting everything wet. any info on when this was made? i'm curious about the Hong Kong connection. thanks!

      I think this was pretty common around the late 60s and 70s.
      Blanks from Japan were sent to Hong Kong and painted there. There apparently was an embargo at that time on Chinese painted ceramics, and Hong Kong stepped in to feed the demand. As there is not much in the way of kilns to supply pieces in Hong Kong, they used Japan as their blanks source.
