Sorry I can not read the characters but the forms and decorative motifs on your nearly new vases are inspired by exquisite greenwares ("celadons") with inlaid designs made in Korea 700 to 800 years ago and imitated in the 18th century and later.

If you do an internet search for Korean celadons and "Ataka collection" you will see pictures and recognize the designs.

Good luck,
Cal
