Hi Giuseppe,

The characters on the vase spell: 金閣寺 = Kinkakuji = Temple of the golden pavillion.
Google Kinkakuji for more information about this temple. Might be this vase is a tourist piece sold there. Looks not like a very old vase to me.
Regards,
Martin.

A TOKKURI, a sake bottle, often part of a set. Probably a souvenir of the temple.
