Can anyone help me with these marks, please?

    These are some random teacups & saucers from my mother's estate. For the first one, I'm having a hard time reading this mark - is it Hokuto Ira? If so, I can't find any information on it. Am I reading it incorrectly?

    And then this one is a complete mystery! Any thoughts?

    I’d call it an Imari pattern. Is the handle broken? :(

    It is. :( But I have it, and am going to glue it back on and display it proudly. :happy: My mother kept it right inside the cup, guess she just never got around to repairing it. She was notorious for mending things most people would consider smashed beyond repair. She just hated to toss pretty broken things in the trash.

    That sounds like a fitting tribute. Maybe someone knows the other mark.
