Subject:Small Ceramic cups
Posted By: Sharon D Smith Sat, Dec 31, 2022 IP: 2603:8001:800:db79:e I have 4 ceramic tea cups with pictures of horses on them 4 different colors with writing on the bottom. I would like to know what the cups are (kind) and where they came from? I would also like to know what the writing says?

Posted By: Bill H Sun, Jan 01, 2023 The two-character stack in the mark (upside down as shown) indicates they are Japanese Kutani. Can't decipher the rest. In my opinion, probably mid 20th century, post-World War II.

Posted By: Bill H Sun, Jan 01, 2023 Recent Years of the Horse came around in 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002 and 2014, so if I'm on track, your cups likely would be post-1954 (Next Horse Year, which will bode fortune for me, will be 2026).
