There are no visible markings on the bottom. The only markings are the two characters on the side, I was told the bottom one means "mountain".

Its a pretty new vase probably 70`s or 80`s from the style !!  Because of the finish and almost no wear on the vase it is difficult to tell what it is made of but I would guess a pottery type !!

I found this one on ebay, its almost identical. Its being advertised as mixed metal with a buy it now price of $250. I don't know how accurate that is.

Could very well be a metal type,, can`t tell from the pics !! I would say its from the same maker as yours !! Its all to similar not to be !! The one on ebay has several days left,, I do not think it will sell at that price or close to it, but you can watch it and see if there is any interest !!

Looks metal to me alright. $250 is EXTREMELY optimistic.

What do you think is more realistic?
