This is a vase that I own. I have been researching it & reached a brick wall. Some say that it is Japanese, some Chinese. Rare color? Thought I would ask your opinion.

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

This is Japanese Satsuma ware. The upper character (?) means nigi "Right". That gives an indication that it is 1 of a set of vases and that it is the right vase. I think the other character (?) means "nine".

I'm sorry but this website can not handle Japanese characters or symbols.
The upper symbol is:

and the bottom one:
