Large Urn type Vase

Mat is right about the mark, these marks were also used to line the lid up with the decoration or marked right or left, the mark you found inside I do not think it is a mark but enamel that splashed in side, I have never seen a vase marked inside, Plates and saucers and chargers I have seen mark on the front but never a vase.

These characters occasionally appear on Japanese porcelain, as you know. I do not know if it is, but ?? (actual characters for "nine" and "right") are often part of a male name, like ???? (Kyuemon).

I know I should be understanding, but I'm not, is it Japanese, is it old and is it worth holding on to even tho it has no lid and I think the wings have been broke at some point?  I really do appreciate you all giving opinions but I'm confused.
