Are these ming vases?

by Matt
(Jewett City, CT, USA)

I have two vases that where passed down to me. I'm told they came from my grandfathers grandfather. I've also been told that they are ming vases. They are about 5 3/4 inches tall. They have markings on the bottom as well as a sticker with the same mark on both vases. I would like to know what the marks on the bottom mean and if they are valuable.

Japanese?

The writing looks Japanese, definitely not Chinese.

The decoration colors (butterflies) and shape are impossible for Ming.
My view is that it is 20th century.
