[QUOTE="Finnclouds, post: 9704650, member: 84680"]Hi y’all, I introduced myself and the current quest in the Introductions. Apologies if I mess up the photos. So I bought a five-euro Satsuma vase at a Rome fleamarket in 2017 or so and don’t expect it to have appreciated much since. The second one was bought from a Lisbon antique shop a few years after that. I think I paid something like 140 euros as the shopkeeper refused to lower the price. To an untrained eye, the difference in quality is obvious. The second vase is yellowish earthenware with a finely crackled glaze and the body doesn’t ring when tapped ( yes, I did my due diligence at Gothenburg before posting :-) ) The style is closest to Yasui but I think the brush strokes on mine are finer than in the Gothenburg example, and the mark doesn’t look like the same one — to me. I’d be really grateful if someone who reads Japanese could translate the mark of the second vase.
