    I thought these were a great buy for $22.50 at a local auction. They measure 9 inches tall. I have looked through Gotheborg and found similar marks but nothing exact. Any idea who made them? THANKS!

    Hello Vitry- le- Francois very nice pieces of Satsuma, of earthenware , Gosu blue background, generally from Kyoto Kinkozan factory, unable to recognise the artist, however someone else on the forum may assist there. The date of manufacture is 1910 to 1920 and would have been made for the export market.
    Mrs. pewter2 ( she who must be obeyed )has provided me with this information as she is an avid collector of Satsuma. Hope this helps....regards ..pewter2, (and
    Mrs. pewter2).

    Very new contemporary. non-famous maker. Reads "Kui Shan", cannot be found on website.
    Good for decoration if they are big pieces.

    The marking is the manufacture and I cannot find any reference of this manufacture. By observing the exterior of this vase, it looks pretty new, so I think it is a newer contemporary piece.
