oriental vase (occupied japan) fisherman carving by: wendy-jo margaret barager
I did not recieve an answer to my comment but it would appear that what you have is a mold of original vase fron occupation time (japan) the original was carved from a substance that came out around turn of century (1900) and was supposed to resemble whitestone. the original vase will Not crumble! what you have appears to be one of the plaster like casts of original and value wise would still be worth about 15- 25 dollars. they are not a common vase as this method did not work as you can tell with your vase. I would hang onto this tho because as i say there were not many cast, only a few that i am aware of so valu will prolly go up, the original carving was done by man who spent many years at sea carving the original,and was ahead of his time in thinking of casting this to make money! I would have liked to see more pics, especially of bottom to confirm.oh.. the original carving is not lopsided but looks like it is because he shaved off at bottom to even vase out and as a result the lines are thiner on one side than other and gives appearence of looking lopsided. I hope this has helped you as i have been single minded on this research for around 16years on this vase alone!!

Chalk vase by: Phil
I have seen 1 of these vases on a stall at a car boot sale, it was priced at £2. I actually picked it up and handled it, it felt and looked like chalk. If someone finds out that it is worth something then I will be sick that I didn't buy it that day.
