    I managed to buy five reasonable quality Meiji period vases in one lot at auction today. I’ve managed to read the signatures on three of them but this simple signature on the final pair has me stumped. It’s clearly Zan but I can’t decipher the first character even though it’s only four or five strokes.

    Can anyone read it for me please?

    Yes I’m pleased with the vases . They weren’t listed as Satsuma so the price was low.
