Greetings all,
Sorry for the repost but I'd greatly appreciate a relook on this vase. I've been told that it is Japanese and I've been told it's Chinese. I believe it is Japanese. However, I have no clue to the identity of the mark on the base. It doesn't appear to be Japanese.

Hello, Nice vase! It is Japanese and the writing is Old Japanese. Perhaps Bill H. or I. Nagy can read it.

Thank you Jonathan! This is very helpful. I think this is an old vase. It is very heavy.

Chinese apocryphal mark reads,
宣徳製　-　Xuande-zhi - Made under the reign of Xuande
Xuande (title of reign -1426-1435- of Zhu Zhanji, 5th emperor of the Ming Dynasty)

With regards,
I.Nagy

Thank you I.Nagy!
Do you think this is a Japanese vase with a Chinese mark?
