La Maison Satuma appears to have been a store in Buenos Aires in the early half of the 20th century

This looks like export ware to me and certainly not Ming.  Will send to someone to verify just in case

In the U.S. it's politically incorrect.

Everything is politically incorrect in America these days   :'(
Check this out... Probably at least 200 years old based on the amount of garbage that was in the dumpster around it.

Now had it been a "Western Oriental Gentleman",then i would say you were correct...but, as it is...you are incorrect...for how else would you describe...an Oriental Vase, Oriental Carpet,Oriental Furniture..etc,..then there,s Asian Vases, Asian Rugs, and furniture...etc...t he lists are endless...

A vase is an object so it's okay.

Maybe I'm tired and have had to long a weekend. Party Sat. and Charity function Sunday. Maybe my brains on the "Fritz". I better call "Fritz" ;D.

So, true there was just an article in Philadelphia magazine, "Being White in Philly". They made two copies. One a hospitality magazine and one that went to Philadelphians. It's about white people being so politically correct that they are afraid to talk when they are being sh*t on. Interesting article. There has been a revival of the city. The neighborhoods are some what still segregated. If you cross one block you are in fear of being robbed or having some criminal action happening to you. Or, going to school in these neighborhoods as a white child can be difficult, but everyone is afraid to speak the truth because it may sound racist. I am the furthest thing from a racist, and believe you should be able to speak the truth without reprisal.

Very little chance.

Funny how non - Caucasian racism is "speaking truth."
