    Flipper has tried to help you. It’s easier for people on phones to see larger pics rather than the thumbnails, always best to click on full size when posting.

    We all were new here once. Your pictures are good and clear which is great. Someone knowledgeable about your vase will be along to help you, people check in at all times due to different time zones though.

    This is a bit confusing that this has been referred to as Celadon as this is usually a green colour not blue. As I said others will be along.

    Celadon is a green pottery. Originally from China, although Japan has been known to make it as well
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celadon

    If you try rubbing a little cinnamon into the marks and lightly dusting, some of the letters may stand out so that we can read them.

    1. Looks like a date. Is it 59 or 69? for 1959 or 1969.
    2. Almost looks Asian
    3. This this is what looks like Arabic
    4. Probably model number
    5. Possible signature.
    All the rest to the left looks like jibberish.

    Be sure to check back.
    Our boardies from other countries check in at different hours.

    I believe the number 54 represents the date of production, by reign year of the current king, who took the throne in June, 1946. So "54" means the 54th year of the King's reign. Dating the vase to production year 2000.
    In the 70s and 80s, Mengrai used wood-burning kilns, and their output from this era is collectible. Afterward, they switched to gas firing, and their output since is more
    decorative and not as collectible.

    My info is from old notes of mine, so who knows how I found the info.

    Do you mean 59? I don't see a number 54.
