清雲造　-　Seiun -zō　-　Made by　Seiun
Possibly, Takamura Seiun,　高村清雲　coppersmith from the Meiji era.

With regards,
I.Nagy

Inscription　says,
Wedding Commemoration
1974.11.21
Otono Yoshitsuki - Etsuko
(According to the script it seems to be a Japanese customary present given to guests at a wedding reception)
The 清雲 "Seiun"　embossement nowhere in sight,
and there is no patina at all - I think this is different item.

With regards,
I.Nagy

Esteemed I. Nagy the vase is a different item from the one you have identified as 清雲 "Seiun" work. It is interesting to see that such large objects were given as a gift to the guest at the wedding ceremony. Japanese culture is fascinating indeed.. Thank you so much for your help.
Best Regards
Spartakos
