The size of Vase: 9 5/8" High, 3" Top Dia, 4" Bottom Dia, 4 3/4" Dia widest. Very unusual Blue and White porcelain body vase with Deep Green Glazing by Seifu Yoehi III. The blue and white are top with design of Kiku and leaves design. There are three flowers design on the vase. The quality of procelain is very nice. The lower body area with thick green glazing. It came with Tomobako. The photos are in separate close up photo page. The vase has hand carved signature of Seifu Yohei III. I have also added your own the vase signature ( carved purple pheonix vase) as well as other seal box you own. It is definately the vase done by Seifu Yohei III. The cover of Tomobako written "Seika" (Blue and white), "Kabin"(flower vase) with chop seal of Seifu Yohei III. Tomobako cover has, "Seifu Sei"(Seifu made) with chop seal of "Teishitsu-Gigei-in". Same signature too, I added in close up photo from your purple Seifu Yohei III vase(you bought May 2006). No matching cloth with item. But we have yellow cotton cloth came with item but no chop seal on it. The condition of vase is excellent, no chip, no crack and no hairline. There is one tiny kiln flaw at leaf vine which my close up photo showing in other page which has glazed over. Also, there is one section of lower vase on green glazing area with little glazing uneven spot. One tiny spot above that area with navel as photo showing. None scratch, kept very good condition. I added new Himo since no original Himo was not there. It is pretty vase. My photo bottom area of vase is seems to be smaller in wideth. Actual piece has more wider than my photo. Top neck are more smarter looking. The color of green is pretty close as showing. One thing, I forgat to mention is crescent spot of Kiku flower has pinkish or yellowish underglazing painted. The vase is not heavyly potted rather more finely potted. I can see clearly the light thru the vase wall.
