imari vase with another strange mark, any idea?

am guessing this is a modern design:

 

Modernish, possibly meant to be a fungus (longevity), there are other traditional symbols around the body and the rabbits, so fits with the item.

 

Google Koransha Scented Orchid Mark and I think you will find it. Nice quality from that factory. Prices have slipped over the last ten years though.

 

Thanks! I couldn't remember what flower that mark was supposed to represent.

 

Just as John B said.. it looks like the Koransha mark, you might also google the Fukagawa orchid mark which was used in the 19th century whch is another term for the Koransha, however it might have been used by fukagawa since then also. If the quality is very good then it is likely 19th century.

 

thanks everyone for all the comments. A wonderful place to learn

Here is some more information on the Chronology of the Kornahsa mark

This site is in japaense but if you translate to english it is a very good reference

Is the shape of the vase significant at all? I don't see koransha like that

 

It no doubt has some signifigance, however i am not sure what it might be, as i do not have that kind of knowledge or expertise. Fukagawa comes in so many shapes and sizes and styles, that to me it does not suggest it is not fukagawa. The style and colour and quality strikes me as something from early 20th century, however with the Koransha mark it has a good chance at being 19th century, If the mark is fake then you have to re appraise it.



Here is a vase somewhat similar to yours.
