Two oriental vases

Hi there,

My grandma has sent me a picture of the marks on some oriental vases she has and I'm trying to translate them.

The first is from the bottom of a pair of tall vases which have an elaborate design and a 'pie crust' rim at the top.

The second is from a yellowy coloured smaller vase with a black bamboo design.

Any help with the marks would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Ian
