A really nice 12" tall hand painted vase with a flowering tree design above and below a center panel with a scene of a hut on a mountain lake.  The top and bottom have a sharply ribbed design and the center section is paneled.  The porcelain is somewhat translucent.  It has a 3 character Japanese mark that I have not been able to translate other than the last character being for "made" (if anyone is familiar with this mark, a head's up would be appreciated).  The condition is very good with no chips and light age and wear.  There is a light "crow's foot" hairline on one side (see the last photo).
