doug3333 New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 06/11/2012 8:38 pm Is it on a metal dish or plate? It may be a manufacturer's hallmark of purity. But no script I've ever seen. Report this Post to the Staff
beachloan Valued Member United States 219 Posts	Posted 06/11/2012 9:22 pm It is actually on the bottom of a ceramic tea set. I have looked though some of the hallmark websites but I can not find anything to match and to make it more difficult I do not know what language it is. Report this Post to the Staff
COMET Valued Member United States 223 Posts	Posted 06/11/2012 10:19 pm Looks to be Japanese. Though my Chinese is not good there are some characters I don't recognize. And it looks like you have the image on the wrong side. It needs to be rotated. Report this Post to the Staff
