ARTIFACT: This is a rare vase from the famous Rex Hotel in Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam). Originally an automobile garage built during the late 1920s, the building began its conversion into a luxury hotel complex in 1959. Four hundred United States Army soldiers christened the Rex in December of 1961 while their much sparser, long-term accommodations were being readied nearby. War correspondents and military personnel alike frequented the lounge at the Rex, and its conference room provided a venue for the daily press conference nicknamed "The Five O'Clock Follies". The vase has a nicely fluted opening and is in blue and white.

VINTAGE: Circa mid 1960s (Viet Nam War).

SIZE: Approximately 7-7/8" in height and 3-1/2" in diameter (at widest part).

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: China.

ATTACHMENT: None.

MARKINGS: None.

ITEM NOTES: This is from a hotel advertising collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VBJX12 L/SABJX8/12

CONDITION: 8 (Excellent-): The vase shows only light wear with no chips or stains.

GUARANTEE: As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
