Asian hand-painted vase

By froggydebi, 19 February, 2011
Description

This Asian porcelain vase has been in our family for years and I recently inherited it.  Unfortunately no one in our family has been able to tell me the origin of the vase or how it came to be with us.  It is about 12" high and weighs about 3 lbs.  It is white, with the top edge rimmed in gold.  It has beautiful, vibrant colors of red, yellow, green and blue flowers and two birds - one green and one blue, both with yellow chests.  The painting is only on the front of the vase and there is a blue hand-painted mark on the bottom but I have no clue what the mark means.
