    Hello, I was wondering if anyone can read these inscriptions or could give me any information on this vase. It has a raised inscription on the back and blue stamped characters on the underside. 9EE836F5-BE8A-41DA-AA11-3CBC47B07187.jpeg 87DB0642-4E14-4FD3-B958-185F776B042B.jpeg C84E2249-B343-44A8-8DD9-056B87A55981.jpeg D9A88D50-F1AA-485C-9603-1490107E7D25.jpeg 9C7BA8BF-7B37-4E77-B8C0-2B2E3E27A17B.jpeg

    I had to edit it to make the pictures big enough to see well. Can you see the pictures now?

    The white writing becomes far more visible when the vase is lit from within.

    Based on your translation, I was able to find this listing for a similar vase. I wonder if the writing on the back of this one is another poem. I’m guessing mine may also be from the 1960’s or around that time.

    Or maybe it’s not from that time, because it doesn’t have the stamp on the inside. Hmmm... anyone good at dating these?

    Edit:
    I found both of these listings with the same maker’s mark and without the blue stamp on the inside. It’s weird that mine is the only one I can find that doesn’t have a date with the maker’s mark, but it seems safe to call it 1960’s.
