    Good Morning Everyone, I was wondering if anyone could translate the writing on this cup. I'm not sure if its Chinese or Japanese. Would anyone also by chance know the age, and who made it. IMG_2348_opt.jpg IMG_2350_opt.jpg IMG_2352_opt.jpg IMG_2355_opt_opt.jpg

    Chinese, read from right to left
    "Ke Yi Qing Xin" - "Able to purify heart"
    It should be a republic period cup. When chinese say "Ke Yi" to express meaning "able to", it is the way for expressing after 1890.
