Found this little tidbit about Irice
Irving W. Rice & Co., Inc.
Founded in 1905, Irving W. Rice & Company was launched in New York City as a seller of head vases, perfume bottles, salt and peppershakers, crystal accessories, and table crystal gifts. It flourished under the
direction of Irving W. Rice as president and Lou D. Bloom as sales manager. Although Mervelle G. Rice took over as president in the 50s, the company continued to import the same items—often from Japan—throughout its history. The company used both paper labels and transfer marks and its head vases often featured the wording "An Irice import" or "An Irice product."
