Subject:Mark on little vase
Posted By: Martin Michels Wed, Dec 14, 2016 IP: 84.26.216.123
Hi,

I was wondering whether someone can tell me what is written in the mark on this little blue vase with a decoration of grapes. I have no idea if this is Japanese or Chinese, so any help is welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Martin.

Martin, I think this is a Japanese piece, as it appears to have Japanese phonetic characters at the top of the right-hand stack. I'm not versed in the phonetic Japanese, so will have to yield to experts in this field.

Bill,

Thanks again, now I know it's Japanese I have a part of the translation: Shiba Export Ltd シバ輸出株 (Shiba Yushutsu Kabu). I still need to figure out the other 4 characters, will take more time.
Regards,
Martin.
