Subject:Cup ID
Posted By: Roger D Thu, Mar 30, 2017 IP: 2602:0306:cdb2:6320: I have a pair of cups with an unusual mark which I am unable to identify from my data base or any of the marks sites I have visited. The mark seems to have a resemblance to Koranshaw but is not exact. Any help to identify will be appreciated. |
Subject:Re: Very unusual mark Japanese or Chinese?
Posted By: Roger D Thu, Apr 13, 2017 I have determined that the mark is not Koransha and although I believed it to be Japanese, the design may be Chinese. Any help to identify will be appreciated. |

Posted By: Bill H. Fri, Oct 05, 2018 The mark, as shown, appears to be resting on its left side. When flipped 90 degrees to the right, the topside character seems to be 翔 ('Xiang' in mandarin Chinese or frequently 'Sho' in Japanese names, with a meaning 'To Soar'. The angular mark at the bottom doesn't ring any bells with me, except to remind of the unreadable Japanese "monograms" that sometimes accompany artist signatures. |

Posted By: RogerD Tue, Oct 09, 2018 Thanks, Bill. The cups are of very fine porcelain so I don't believe they are from a regular tableware set but possibly from a tea set. I have had them for about 30 years so maybe I will be able to ID in the next 30. |

Posted By: RogerD Tue, Oct 02, 2018 I am going to try again for identification of the unusual mark on a pair of cups I have. Any help will be appreciated. |
