    Two different marks on the bottom of the bowls. The dove is thought to be made in North Vietnam and the green bowl with the black star on the bottom is Chinese made and exported to vietnam.

    Hello Bob.

    The dove ("peace dove??" by Picasso if memory serves me right after many years) was a favorite symbol of the Vietminh. Displayed and used as a symbol of the lenient and peace loving Vietnamese people but ring a sad bell in this writers mind recalling the human wrecks who survived imprisonment he witnessed as a member of reception and honor detachments after the armistice in 1954.
