Re: Asian vase
Japanese Satsuma CLOISONNE SNUFF BOTTLE.
Satsuma marks. In all cases, including the detail of a painted figure on a fine plate bearing the mark at lower left, the crackle is quite conspicuous, as is the pale tan color of the undecorated portions of the fired surfaces. The minimum clue to Satsuma is the circle with cross, which is part of the mon or crest of the Shimazu family of hereditary rulers over the Satsuma fiefdom. The Name 'Satsuma' is shown in stand-alone form under the circled cross At the top left is a mark that includes additional and highly variable information on the studio and artist responsible for the item.

It looks like you are missing the lid/spoon>? Satsuma's are not easy to price, and the marks change. I suggest getting a Appraisal from the guys here. Might be worth the cost...Good Luck.
