I've attached more pics hope these are better quality...still looking for info

These are better than average Japanese Imari-palette export vases dating from the late Meiji period, or circa 1900. The shoulders at either side have attractive applications molded in the form of rope, which is tied into a loose bow at the top and droops in two strands with tasseled ends. The bases have numerical factory markings, apparently quality-control numbers, but I'm uncertain of what they pertain to.

Here are some photos I dug up of an identical vase which may provide some better detail. The factory marking on the base says 'Right side, 30'.

Best regards,

sorry i see satsuma vases around 1900, and i see no imari pallette. the imari pallette usually includes iron red underglaze blue and gilding. and somthimes grass green, yellow or turquoise .wil hugers

From everything I've seen I thought they were satsuma around 1900 but wasn't sure and was looking for second opinions...but I had also questioned meiji period. Thank you for your help....any and all input is appreciated

Thanks again Bill for all your help.I will continue to try and find further information and will let you know .
