Hello again, Chinese this time, the marks, I think, are for the Ch'eng Hua period (1465-1487) except the vase is actually around 1900-20, I've a couple myself, so not Ming dynasty     although I could be wrong

damn it Keith, how do you know so much lol.  Oriental stuff is really difficult to learn about I am finding, scouring through pages of symbols makes me crosseyed and they all start to look the same after a while lol.  Thanks honey, you are a gem as always

Don't know much at all just have lots of books and googly eyes  looking at all the characters,Japanese is easier than Chinese, in my opinion, these are mine, the big one is two foot tall and the cheapest!
