Subject:Asian Vase - Signature
Posted By: Peter Thu, Oct 26, 2023 IP: 91.141.45.11
I'd be grateful if someone were able to translate the maker's signature on this Asian vase which stands at around 30cm high.

Thanks for any assistance.

It is Japanese,
奇陶軒桝吉製　Kitōken Masukichi-sei - Kitōken Made by Masukichi

Kawamoto Masukichi's (川本桝吉）1832-1907 Seto ware,　Kitōken was his sobriquet.

With regards,
I.Nagy

Marking belonged to 2nd. gen. Masukichi (1852-1918),
