very beautiful!!!
If you look on the lip/gold part of the vase, there are characters within the medallions.
Thank you all for the love :)
Hi Melanie
You have a gorgeous peice of Japanese Satsuma and the gilding is exquisite. The mark on the base is the artists monogram and the painted floral work is to die for. A great find so make sure you take REALLY good care of it. Date wise around the late 19th / early 2oth century. Fabulous piece

Hi Dean, It resembles a Japanese Satsuma vase. I dug, and dug, and found that the vase is from The Kinmen Hong Bo Ceramic Factory.
