    Beautiful 3 piece tea pot with symbols on the bottom.

    Piece is in great shape, I was hoping to find a little more about it. Name of the maker and year produced if possible, any help would be fantastic!

    my grandmother recently passed and this was in her collection, wanted to make sure it wasn’t worth something or has a history.

    The Mark is upside, I would guess these are vintage 1970's. You will need to show a picture of the tea set, or at least the tea pot. Really, there is no way to determine all that much from a vague backmark. If it was a Qianlong backmark it could still be from 1970.

    It's a cup, lid, and infuser--not a teapot.

    Those cups made for a single serving made with loose tea were a hot gift item in the 80s. No one ever used them, just gave them as gifts. I swear the ones that didn't get broken all ended up in rummage sales.

    I don't read or speak Chinese or Japanese but if you're asking if the mark is the same as the OPs, it looks different to me.
