This is a beautiful vase in dark blue, showing various flowers within a hand-cart. Multiple colors were used as well as gold lining and trim. It is marked in gold - "Nine-Valley" in Japanese gliphs along with "KUTANI", within a square border. A gold foil "Made in Japan" sticker is affixed to the bottom. The vase is in perfect condition, but I do not know if it is real or a fake. The gliphs appear to be from the Meiji period, but cannot be confirmed - (c.1900-1912?). Please assist. My son won it for my wife at a silly carnival game several years ago.
