Subject:Mark on Vase
Posted By: Lance Frazer Mon, May 09, 2016 IP: 67.187.170.37

Would appreciate a translation of the small marks on the base of this roughly 7 inch vase. Nice condition, nicely decorated, would appreciate a translation by one of the learned members of the marks on the bottom so I can do a little more research. Many thanks.

The mark, shown upside down, reads "Kutani" an historic Japanese kiln area. I'd speculate from the bright color scheme that it was made in the 20th century for export to the West but have no basis to say when.

Best regards,

Bill H.
