Hi Gary,

Top character reads: Hidari 左 = left.
The other 3 translate as just a number: 52 五十二 Go-ju-ni.
No idea what the 52 means.
So the vase is the left one of a pair. It is so called Kyo-Satsuma, Satsuma ware made in or around Kyoto.
Regards,
Martin.

This is not a signature but a painter's note.
左五十二  - Left (side) 52

With regards,
I.Nagy
