Subject:Dragon cup
Posted By: Martin Michels Fri, Apr 27, 2018 IP: 84.26.216.123

Today April, 27th it's Kings Day in the Netherlands to celebrate the King's birthday. And like each year in my home town there is a free market, everybody is trying to sell all kind of old household stuff.

I found and bought this dragon cup (and the saucer as well) for just 1 euro, not because the decoration is that great, but because it has a signature I have never seen before, see pictures.
I do recognize the 1st 宇 (Hiroshi - male first name) and 3rd character 都 (to or miyako), but I could not find the 2nd character, the closest was 壽 (ju or kotobuki).
So using 壽 as 2nd character I get something like "Hiroshi Juto".

Is that right or is there another solution or opinion about what the signature translates to???
Regards,
Martin.
