Is this a Chinese or Japanese moriage vase. Any idea of the marking and approximate date?

This is a Kyoto "Satsuma" vase from around 1920-1930.
Mark is: 右 Migi (= right) 六 Roku (= 6), which means it was the right one of a pair. No idea what the 6 means, might be a design number, product number, etc.

Thank you Martin.

Hello Martin - following your helpful response do you have any idea of market value of this vase either in pounds sterling or euros? I haven't seen many examples of this type of moriage vase with a lid. Is this unusual?
Thank you
Bonnie Green

A lid is not unusual, however, a lid is often the first thing that breaks.
The value is a question of taste, this vase is not my thing. My tip is: search on Ebay with "satsuma moriage" and compare the items with yours and what one is asking for it.
Regards,
Martin.
