trying to identify vase

[djk]

It appears to be old. It stands about 13-15" in height. Does anyone recognize the manufacturer or know anything about it? Thank you.

This is a Japanese vase, very nice, almost looks like a satsuma style and of the art deco era, not sure what the mark says, a close up of the mark would help.

Thank you, Stan. Here is a closeup of the mark on the bottom.

Thanks Djk, I do not know the mark but wait and see if someone else recognizes it.

????????
Japan    Kinkozan made

Than you, everyone.

[Stan]

Thanks Peter, I thought the mark was Kinkozan but it is written with such a slang to the writing I could not tell, I have several signed Kinkozan pieces and none of them signed like this, but the foot rim is correct for late Meiji in my opinion, if it  is Kinkozan you got a real good piece, his pottery is well known and some of his items can fetch a pretty good price at the high auctions.

[Stan]

By the way, this would be art nouveau and not art deco which is even better, good find.

[djk]

Can you recommend an auction house that deals in this type of potter?

[Stan]

You can send pictures online to Christies and they can tell you if it is something of interest to them, you can also look at past auctions and see what kinkozan has sold for in the past.

Thank you again.
