    Would anyone know this raised mark on these spoons?

    I don't know the mark but aren't they spoon rests not spoons? I guess size would help.

    Indeed.
    Wisc, what is the difference between soup spoons and the spoon rests (if not the size being too large for the mouth)?

    One appears to have warped during the firing in the kiln. They look new.

    The mark looks Japanese?

    In my house a spoon rest is used on the top of stove to rest ladles/spoons on while cooking. Isn't that what everyone does with a spoon rest?

    They are traditional soup spoons used widely across the Far East, the character is probably a logo, doesn't appear to be a standard character in Japanese, Chinese or Korean.

    The "house" symbol is the 2nd part of the generic Japanese Kutani mark. These appear to be soup spoons circa 1920s...give or take.

    It's not that kanji though, there are no top lines and the box appears to have an open side.

    No I don't think these nearly that old, but that is just my own opinion!
