Dear Nik,

You have a quite modern Japanese Imari vase. Its made of porcelain and its hand painted. Imari has a typical red and blue color palette with sometimes added green or gold colors. Japanese Imari is not very sought after at the moment and price for recent porcelain is not very high. I tried to find the marks in reference books but for the modern marks its sometimes hard to find them; the quantity is very high and not all are to be found very easily. It is save to say that your vase is not of very high quality painting and therefor not a high value vase. I checked recent well known and appreciated potters in Japan with good market value and your vase bears no resemblance with those higher valued porcelain vases.
