Dear Aaron,

These are lovely. I've never seen anything like this before. They are not typical forms of vases, jars, or planters (of sorts).

Do they have Kutani marks? Might they have marks on the base that suggest another palette/origin/style of painting?

Please share photos of the bottom. The foot rim/ring and the base interior including any makers marks you might find.

Eager to see more.

Best Regards,

Hi Aaron,

Hope all is well. Curious to see if you were able to get the vases for the numbers we discussed.

Let me know how it works out.

Best Regards,

The mark is displayed upside down and reads:
Rangetsutei 蘭月亭 Sei 製 - Kutani 九谷
= Made by Rangetsutei - Kutani.

Rangetsutei might mean something like "Orchid Moon (work)shop". I have no further info about this name.
Regards,
Martin.
