Re: Oriental Vase Identity

Hello Mo,

Your vase is Japanese and this kind of ware is mostly called "Sumida". It was made from 1890's till early 1940's for export to the west. In 1924 they moved the pottery from Tokyo to Yokohama and then started to use more colors. The use of orange was most significant. Your's doesn't have that orange color which might be an indication it's made before 1924. The mark you show us is the signature of "Ban-ni".

Regards,

Arjan
