I am interested in the translation of these characters.This vase was passed down to me from my great-grandmother. It was a gift she received while abroad on the R.M.S. Franconia �Around the World Cruise� of 1930. I have her log book and journal from the tour around the world. I�m not sure what palace she visited when she was given this vase. The story behind it is so precious to my sister and I. She was given a sightseeing break and visited a palace. She spent some time visiting with a shiek that resided there and he was taken by her humbleness and appreciation for the surrounding beauty of the palace art. He gave her the vase and also a beautiful persian rug. I am interested in learning where this piece originated and what it is appraised at. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

i'd guess the mark is japanese and might read Toseizan, but will step aside for others to correct me.
