Here is some fun background on this piece

The United China and Glass Company (UCGC), headquartered in New Orleans, introduced the “Norleans” import line in 1949.

1947–1949: Items imported right after World War II were legally required to be marked “Made in Occupied Japan”.

1950s–1960s: Once the occupation ended, the company switched to these distinctive scalloped red and silver foil labels stating simply “Norleans Japan”.

1970s and later: The brand began transitioning toward paper labels, stamped marks, and patterns sourced from other countries like Italy.

The classic hand-painted floral style combined with this exact foil sticker places this pitcher vase right in the heart of the Mid-Century import boom.
