Your vase is from Korea, and its character mark, 漢青, is transcribed "Han Cheng" in Korean, according to the Unicode data base. The character 漢, also read as "Han" in Chinese, means the Han Dynasty and Han people, who are synonymous with China and the Chinese people. In this context, adding the character 青 (qing/cheng - the "Color of Nature") gives your mark a meaning of the "Green of China".

Here's an eBay result from the Japanese seller of a teacup and original box with the same markings. The description gives a date for that piece of the 1960s.

Please note, the other non-English descriptive terms in the eBay listing are all Japanese transcriptions.

Best regards,

Bill H.

This is probably a modern Korean product. Pretty nice decoration and glaze.

The original phase of this style was produced by inlaying the decoration, most famously depicting cranes. From the appearance of your photos, the decoration is instead underglaze-painted.

The style became best known in the west via the Tanaka collection which I think is now in the Osaka Museum.

If you do an internet image search for the terms Korean celadon cranes, I think you will see similarities and a bit of history.

When the glaze is successfully fired, it is just delicious to look at.

Oops, that should have been "Ataka" not Tanaka for the collector name.
