But in all seriousness, looks modern to me, probably not worth much. (source: getting stoned and watching daytime antiques programmes on TV)  :-\

The writing above the sword needs to be translated. It might be a signature or title. Blue & white vases vary widely in price.

I've known the thing for as long as I can remember, never bothered to ask what it is where it came from tho.

I'm not sure actually, they could be worth something (but the chances aren't that high). I usually just throw out everything that I don't need.
The less junk, less distraction = more productivity.

If this is antique this could worth some fortune. Try auctioning it on ebay.

so I spent about a hour spelling some crap in this (http://www.nciku.com/) site and most characters there is either unrecognized or have no meaning at all.

the only thing I can find the meaning is 大, which means "big"...
could be anything, maybe "big vase" or something like that... so yeah, maybe these vases isn't worth anything  :P

Phew! I'm glad this thread isn't about identifying some kind of STD.  :D

This style of vase is quite popular. Some are genuine antiques while many more are modern copies. Take them to get appraised if you seriously want to know.

I know a little Japanese (which borrows characters from Chinese) and I noticed that also. However the other characters look like they may be stylized fake Chinese. I don't know enough to be sure though. Nor do I know anything about vases. But I think of this blue porcelain look as being popular in Europe a hundred years ago. They made them in Europe to look Asian. If its what I'm thinking, they may actually be worth something. Not a fortune, but hundreds?

Try an antique shop. The dealer will likely know of one, if in fact they aren't one themselves.
