Fukagawa Seiji is a certified "Kunaichō Goyōtashi" (宮内庁御用達), a distinguished status signifying its designation as a purveyor to the Japanese Imperial Household Agency. This guarantees its top-tier quality and cultural significance. The vase comes with its original wooden storage box (Tomobako / 共箱), which confirms the maker and status, and significantly enhances its value. 2.

Mark: The base features the clear blue underglaze Mount Fuji mark (山印) and the characters "Fukagawa Sei" (深川製).
