History
This vase was passed down to me from my dad and he got it from his dad but im not sure how old it is. It looks like a type of raku many asian cultures use but im not sure. The vase is definitely an Asian culture though due to the signature on the bottom. I asked a Japanese proffesor and she was not sure about some of the markings. Please help me figure out what this is and how much its worth i would really like to know. If more pictures are needed please let me know.
