For those of you honest people, I hope that this information helps you and that you will give me that acknowledgement.

There is no such thing as a Nippon Head Vase. Head vases were never made by Morimura Bros. nor during the Nippon era. All of the head vases advertised as Nippon are FAKE. They are sold by importers in lots of 10s and 100s. Some are marked with the fake M in Wreath Mark, the fake gold script Hand Painted Nippon and some without any marking at all. When they come to this country, they have a "Made in China" sticker on the bottoms which is then removed by unscrupulous sellers before listing them for sale on ebay or in other venues. There is a Fake Head Vase site which is run by Chrissy and she has many more fake head vase pictures shown on her site including the INFAMOUS FAKE NURSE HEAD VASE. BUYER BEWARE!<p>FAKE HEADS<p><p>

FAKE MARKS:<p>

I hope you find this information useful. Happy ebaying.
