The mark on your large and lovely vase is associated with Mogi Momonoi & Company, a Japanese ceramics firm that was located at 25 Barclay Street in New York during the early 20th century. I've pasted a link below to my sharing site, where I have uploaded a longish document in Japanese with the firm's history and some pictures of products sold. I've added machine translations that should give you the gist of it. Perhaps the forum's Japanese experts can add further enlightenment.

URL Title :Mogi Momonoi

Bill, thank you for the link.
The text furthermore unfolds that after the death of Imanari Shinichi 今成新一、　Mogi Kitarō　茂木喜太郎 set up a new Joint Stock Company with Momonoi Tatsuo　桃井達雄　in New York (After 1904)
under the name of Mogi, Momonoi & Co. The text doesn't say anything about what kind of mark was used by this new cmpany.
With regards,
I.Nagy

I. Nagy, your insight is always valued.

Best regards,

Thank both of you so much for all the wonderful info. I just love this vase. The work that goes into one of these amazes me.
