Hi Jannis and Arjan,

I sort of doubt that anyone would put those particular characters on the bottom of a Satsuma-type stoneware vase unless they wanted them read as Kinkozan, but anything's possible, especially with all the fakes around.

Actually there's nothing out of kilter about the vase vis-a-vis styles prevailing during much of the late Meiji-Taisho period, or first quarter of the 20th century. This six-character mark of Kinkozan in black is what looks strange to me.

Best regards,

Bill H.
