    I waa wondering if anyone could help me identify this diamond blue porcelain mark on this vase? Also it has N5 on the brim of the vase not sure what that means. Thank you for any information.

    piece looks like Japanese hard paste porcelain, even though impressed with N5 in western notation. Just a guess though.

    Probably the mold number.

    I posted on a fb group and someone said it could be a alms bowl. It has very similar shape to an alms bowl but im not sure if thats right since mine has a mold number and the blue triangle mark doesn't seem to add up.
