Japanese eggshell cup and saucer

  1. I have a set of these hand painted Japanese cup and saucers… they look like kutani but I can’t figure out the marks? Can anyone help?

    IMHO this adorable set is Meiji era for export.
    Sorry I can't help with the marks. I thought at first
    it was one of the Watano trading company marks.
    It may not be Kutani.

  5. I did try gothborg..I found another site that was similar, yet not the same and it said something along the line of American Japanese?

    They are Kutani, late 19th or early 20th. Marks are 加早 加 then I'm not sure on the center two, they may be abbreviations. Final character almost certainly 製 (made).

    Could still be Watano, I seem to see new marks for them regularly. The style is certainly right and they don't always seem to include Watano in the script.
