If no one else gives you their opinion, send some photos to Peter. It costs about 12 dollars I think, but he will give you some answers. Just make sure to tell him everything you know and when / where it was purchased.
There is a link on the website but if you can't find it let us know and one of us will put a link on here.

Ah, interesting. There was a vietnamese vase at an auction recently in similar colours. It wasn't an old vase but if I can find it, it may be helpful.
I can't find it but found similar ones. If you look up Bien hua pottery you will see 20th c itrems, many of which arrived in the USA with servicemen like yourself, with the same colours, handles and shapes. The designs also fit with yours, but the thing that still doesn’t fit is all the glaze runs as these pieces are quite neat.
I hope someone else can help, but for what it is worth I think it is most likely vietnamese, probably 20th c, but it could be late 19th as I did see an older, plain-looking one with runny brown glaze.
If you come across any one on other message boards claiming these are Song pieces, take no notice. It is someone who used to post opinions like that on here and the comments are not worth paying attention to.
@julia HI AGAIN JUST HAD TO TELL YOU THAT BEIN HOA WAS ACTUALLY NEAR MY AREA OF OPERATION WHEN WE FOUND IT NEXT TO A WEAPONS AND FOOD STASH RIGHT NEXT TO THAT POOR POGODA THST ONCE HARD BEAUTIFUL ADORNMENT OF DRAGONS AND A MYSTERIOUS GRAVE YARD IN SIGHT WITH HUGE OFFERINGS TO THE DEAD .,, AWESOME,,, I NEVER GIVE UP HOPE IT SEEMED LIKE THE ENEMY PROTECTED IT ...SO IT WAS SOMETHING TO THEM AND ITS SOMETHING TO ME REGUARDLESS OF WHAT STATUS IT HOLDS ,LET IT SHINE THANK YOU JULIA

@shinigami I vote yes, either a spoof or a passive aggressive display. Bruno Hat lives, but with a great deal less finesse.

Calligraphy established itself as one of the major Chinese art forms during the Han dynasty (206 BCE - 220 CE), and for two millennia after, all educated men were expected to be proficient at it.
