Hi everyone,
I recently received a pair of cloisonne vases (about 5 inches tall), but I would like to learn more about them. I was told that these are Meiji era vases, bearing the mark of Inaba Nanaho. After an exhaustive search process, my research turned up inconclusive. Hoping someone on this board might be able to help identify/value these vases?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. THANKS!

Bumping because innumerable old threads have been boosted up, suppressing current ones.

If it is of any help to you in your search, I believe the mark on the bottom is this character:
木
written in seal script.

It is the word for tree, or wood - not that that tells you much.

Thanks for the responses! I'll follow up with Artelino and look further into the marking!
