[QUOTE="dmstbr, post: 1778947, member: 12481"]Can anyone please help with identification of the maker of this antique tea service? We suspect the date to be circa 1920 but could be wrong. I believe that the 3 characters on the right hand side mean Great Japan. If correct, this would date either from 1868-1912 or 1920-1940. The character on top I believes means roof/house and the 3 characters on the left side I have not been able to identify yet. It is possible that the second character on the left means wisteria. Quite a puzzle! See pictures for details. Greatly appreciate any ideas you may have about its origin.
