Japanese Tea Set - H inside of a flower and says hand painted Japan

Hi Brenda

I will throw this one open to others to answer as I am not sure of the answer to this one.

Japanese marks seem to be one of those subjects fraught with complications, twists and turns. The marking quite often doesn't seem to be for the actual purpose of identifying the maker, which is quite baffling to our Western sensibilities where we want to know whos who and what's what.

I am very hopeful an expert collector will come our way and save the day.

Mark ID
by: Annie

The "H" in the middle of the cherry blossom might be "Hotta Yu Shoten & Co". Possibly from the 20's - 40's.

Same mark but very different colors
by: Cyndi

Oct 22, 2012 reply: I have a tea set with the same mark. But my set has a lot of gold scrolled painting around the edges and Mt. Kilimanjaro is the motif. Colrs are subdued blue/green. May be whats called "lusterware"? My mother bought the set at an auction more than 50 years ago and gave them to me in the 1970s.
