Is it possible that this cup is from Kangxi period? I have seen item with similar decoration in museum. Measurements are 6,2 x 4,6 cm. Porcelain is of very good quality. The surface of this cup is uneven. The mark reads according to my chinese friend "yellow flower".

Look like Japanese Arita porcelain cup with "net" design.

Thanks for imformation. I fand similar pieces in Internet. What is your opinion how old it could be?

The other possibility is Chinese 'ko-sometsuke' porcelain made for the Japanese market, but these look Japanese. The cups are decorated and glazed allover and appear to have been fired on 3 spur supports - a Japanese technique - rather than on a foot ring.

Here at the link is a Japanese blog with some interesting pictures and comments on the Japanese "ami" or fishnet porcelain pattern. I'm unsure of whether they take questions, but you may still find it worthwhile.

Best regards,

Bill H.
