    I need help to identify some marks on these tea cups given to me by an old friend. They have been in his family for a long time and said they were brought back from Japan. I am new to this site so I apologize if I started this thread with too many pictures.... IMG_6455.JPG IMG_6458.JPG IMG_6460.JPG IMG_6462.JPG

    The first one may be Kutani; it needs to be turned a hair counter clockwise. The last definitely says Kutani. The second one is Chinese and I think upside down. A good site for Japanese and Chinese marks is www.gotheborg.com. Click on whichever marks you want on the left. I have no idea what language is on the third one.
