Posted By: Bill H Mon, Sep 23, 2019 The style and palette of your vases bespeak Japanese and not Chinese origins. The mark would seem to read down and across in seal-writing characters as 鐘美謹製, with the last two characters being known from gotheborg.com to read 'Kinsei' (Respectfully Made). However, I have no clue as to the transliteration of the first two, except 鐘 by itself reads 'kane', means 'clock' and also is a surname. But I've turned nothing up regarding the pair in the gotheborg files or elsewhere online through character queries. Not to worry, though, our Japanese experts are bound to do better on that score.
