    If you scroll down to the info on Bibi, I think you'll find your mark. Here is the written description for Bibi.

    "Might be the mark of a shop or trading company that commissioned pieces for sale, and got pieces from various kilns marked like this. The mark occurs on several pieces of which some are almost identical to Kutani. Recent information has it that Bibi is the name of a family import firm that imported porcelain from Japan to Lebanon during the 1950s and 60s. This porcelain had a Bibi mark on it and was sold in Beirut. The family might also have had a porcelain import business in Palestine in the 1930s and 40s before they were forced to flee in 1947."

    Looks like an inter-war Japanese jug, the text is ビビ (Bibi), a name, and the word is onomatopoeic .

    Thanks. So, upon thinking about this, it's not really known if its from 1930s or 1960s.
