[QUOTE="pandorasbox, post: 10339085, member: 91938"]Hello! I've recently come into possession of a lovely Japanese tea cup, and I'm eager to learn more about it, but I've struggled to find sufficient sources on Japanese ceramics. The cup features a mark with characters that are written from right to left, suggesting it might be from pre-WWII Japan, likely from the first half of the 20th century. However, the character inside the circle (越 ?) has left us with many questions. I assume it’s a relatively inexpensive item for its time, judging by the black specks on the surface and the transfer printing method used for the design. If anyone has insights or knowledge about this specific mark or similar items, I would greatly appreciate your input. Thank you in advance!
