Hello,

I ran across these small vases and was wondering if anyone knows what they are called, how old etc.

They appear to be hand painted and they are no more than 3 inches high. They have unusual markings on the botton. More like a pattern, definately not a name (at least I think not).

Here is a link to some pics;

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks
