I have a small (6") vase with the following markings on the bottom: Hand Painted, MK in the center of olive type branches, and Occupied Japan. The vase is white overall with a floral painting on the front and a pink rose-like blossom applied over the floral painting. I can't find any reference in Kovel's. Can you identify it?
