Do any of you have information on where online to go, to decipher the maker's mark on China, or Japanese porcelain?

There's only one kind of maker's mark that people around here are gonna be familiar with. And it goes well with 7-up.

Boo, booze cutter!

I must admit though I am a scotch man and I do regularly drink a roughly 5:1 scotch to water ratio.

Are the marks strictly Japanese/Chinese characters, or is there English printing?

I like coffee in my coffee. Nothing else. I rarely drink whiskey or other hard alcohol nowdays, but I always preferred a bourbon shot with a beer chaser. If I drank coffee with alcohol it was the same. Shot first then a drink of coffee as a chaser.

Not sure. I've got a set of china I got from my mother, that she got from hers. It's a pretty common pattern, I think. Most of the pieces just have the mark on the bottom. A few pieces that have the same pattern painted on them, do not have the same handle on the little cups. Those with different handles have a mark, with Japan stamped under the mark. Most of them just have intersecting, curved arrows with nothing else. No Kanji, or other symbols.

It's not a big deal. I've been curious about the set since I was a wee one.

Try out at Hastings the book store. There have books with the makers marks in them. You can sit down there and look though them.

I have, but it's out of the way when I go to town, and they don't really have as big a selection of books as one would imagine a library serving over 130,000 people would have. Also, with my hours, it's hard to get there before dark. That statement should tell you the location of the library. I'm not going in that neighborhood after dark.

A couple photos would help suzy. There are a ton of Japanese porcelain marks. And are you positive it's all Japan?

There is a curved arrow mark from Germany. The most commonly seen Japan here are marked with either plain "Japan" or "Occupied Japan", or various Nippon marks.

Absolutely. I was actually more making fun of myself with even more poor grammar and spelling for the obvious mistake.

Trust me I'm not above being ridiculed but I'm still fucking awesome.

Hmm. I can't find any other pieces on the web, so far. I don't have a complete set. I might want to add to it, if I can find the same pattern and mark. I'll keep looking, though.

Thanks, again, Ratz. You're my hero!
