bmsm Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Here are three porcelain rice bowls 4-13/16 in.diameter and 2-1/8 in. high. All have a small hole in the bottom rim for a ring to attach to the equipment belt. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmsm Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 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.

Bernhard H.Holst Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 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.
