thought it was Japanese, but now I think its Chinese.
found similar on the net advertised as Chinese Blue & White Crackleware Vase.
But my vase has other marks, or is this a Chenghua Period Made?
Anybody more info about mark and date?

Hi, you are right, this is a Chinese vase, and it has a "Chenghua Nian Zhi" mark. This does not mean it actually dates to that period. The Vase is much later. These are a bit difficult to date, but were made from the late 19th C on and I think until today... Here is a link with information on this kind of brown etched marks: http://gotheborg.com/marks/brownetched.shtml .
