Subject:Vases
Posted By: Courtney Wheeler Tue, Jun 05, 2012 IP: 98.67.142.242 I am wondering if the marks on the bottom are chinese or japanese and any information i can get about these vases. They have been in my family for many many years. The vases are 6.5 inches tall. |

Posted By: courtney Wed, Jun 06, 2012 sorry the pictures were taken by a professional photographer and he put them on a disk for me. I have matching candlesticks to the vases that I took myself i will post those. I believe the marks are the exact same as the ones on the vases. |

Posted By: courtney wheeler Wed, Jun 06, 2012 here is a better pic of the bottom part of the vases.. If anyone can tell me what all the markings mean it would be greatly appreciated. |

Posted By: Bill H Thu, Jun 07, 2012 Apart from a soft focus in most images, the cobalt seems to have a 'flow blue' character in the markings, which obscures stroke patterns in critical part of the artist or studio name. Accordingly, the following involves guesswork at what it might be. |
