    Finally after a long wait my lovely nan has passed these gorgeous vases down to me, although I'm not doing them any justice at the minute with knowing nothing of their history. I've scrolled and scrolled through Google with every description possible to try and piece together some information... Not had a lot of luck i must admit.
    The lighter vase which comes as a pair is the one I've had most trouble with, I've not been able to find anything alike.
    The darker vase, I have found pieces like it but am unsure if the information is correct.
    If any body would kindly help me piece together their history (if there is one ) of these beauty's I really would appreciate it.

      Looks like the makers mark has faded, so its difficult to know for sure its full story. What I can say for sure though that it was most likely made after 1919, because of the "Made in China" mark, they started replacing just "china" with "made in china" at that time. I think it could be a wucai, and also possibly Kangxi style baluster vase. Not an expert, maybe someone else will confirm my theory. Really beautiful vase by the way. :)

      The one with the Geisha girls is Japanese Satsuma ware 1900-1910 date range looking at ones I have and in my books I have with similar decorations. I agree with BinaryReflex on the other ones dating maybe 1930's early 40's I think maybe.
