I have one piece in my home with the same seal. It should reads like following:

first line: Big Japan
Second line: Made by Yoshida
Third line: Kyodo, or Jingdou

The age should be late 19th to early 20th, Meiji period.

Hello,
First to the mark. It says:

"Dainippon" (Great Japan)
"Yoshida-so" (Made by Yoshida)
"Ki??" (Possibly a name)
The question marks is where the last character is, which I am unsure what it is.

Looks like a Japanese bronze vase. I would go to asianart.com. They have some forum members familiar with Japanese art and crafts other than porcelain.
The only thing I can say about this is, if this is not fake it must be at least from the first half of the 20th century or older because of the use of Dainippon for Japan.
