I had a look here:

Couldn't match any of the stamps but admittedly didn't have a real detailed look.
From what I recall the person who runs that blog can help with ID's.
Cheers,

Looks to me like a modern (<100 years) nice quality chinese pot, that said i dont recconise the chops so it could be something else but thats what it looks like to me.

Strange, the large oval chop and the... Uh.. Peanut shaped chop look Chinese, but the square one is definitely Japanese. :-S

I contacted the previous owner who was not much help

Story goes that she purchased it of a very old lady who could not do Bonsai anymore she purchased it ages ago and thought it was 18th century but i highly doubt that. I will continue to dig.

Spot on Jow, Ryan could not I.D the chops either but said exactly what you said. Not hugely valuable (didnt discover the grail

) but if i keep it for another hundred years than i guess..Oh..i'll be dead

My Jasmine will look great in it though.
