It's the mark of the Gyozan (暁山 or 曉山) studio.

Okada Gyozan (Gyouzan) and his studio are very famous and well known mostly for their work with Kiyomizu (old Kyoto) Satsuma.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the company began to export the reproductions of Ninsei, Kenzan and other original Kyo-Satsuma ware under the name of Gyozan to the USA and Europe. Nowadays the company is called Okada Ceramics Corp.

Regards,
Martin.

Thanks so much Martin for sharing your knowledge. Any idea how much a vase should be sold for and the best way to sell? I have used ebay but only for clothing. Thank you for your help.
