Subject:Help identify these marks please
Posted By: John Sun, Mar 04, 2018 IP: 2601:281:c000:b3:dd0 Would like help in identifying these marks. One is on a small cup and the other is on a vase. These were items that my father brought back from Japan during WW2. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. |

Posted By: Bill H Mon, Mar 05, 2018 Both marks read "Good Fortune" (福 - "Fuku"), so may this be "Double Happiness" for you. |

Posted By: Martin Michels Mon, Mar 05, 2018 These are Fuku 福 marks, which can be found on Japanese ceramics from the Edo Period till now. |
