Subject:tetsubin teapot mark
Posted By: David Sat, Feb 25, 2012 IP: 99.255.148.231

Hello, Can anyone identify this tetsubin teapot mark? Any assistance with this query would be appreciated! Thank you. David.

I believe the characters (in Japanese auto-select encoding) are �S��̈�i, possibly transcribed as 'tetsuki no itsuhin' and translatable as 'Gem of an iron utensil'. Since I am approaching this as a student of Chinese, I welcome all amendments by our Japanese savants.

Best regards,

Bill H.

Far from being a Japanese savant, I read this as 'tetsuki no itsubin' - I suppose that is a quality mark or label.
