Your vases are in a type of Japanese porcelain known as 'sharkskin', also called Coralene, because of its textured glaze. The marks are of the maker Takeuchi Chubei.

See the link below for further information on Takeuchi and his sharkskin porcelain. I believe such marks probably date to around 1885. There was a recent thread concerning this subject, but apparently it has yet to be indexed, and can't be retrieved, at least not by me.

Best regards,
