Subject:Chinese cup -friends in China could not read the mark on the bottom of te cup-need help
Posted By: Carl Klempner Fri, Apr 11, 2008 IP: 71.184.4.137
My friends in China were unable to read the mark on the bottom of the cup. They are very smart but not porcelain experts. There is a cover for the cup however the cover is damaged. I have owned the cup for at least 40 years.
In addition I would like some idea as to the age of the cup.
Thanks for the help,
Carl Klempner

This cup is made in Japan. The mark might possibility be some varient of the Fuku mark of which there are many varieties.

Your input was greatly appreciated. Now that I know that it is Japanese not Chinese I can do the research. It also provides me with material for a fun dinner discussion with my friends.
Again,
Thank you,
Carl
