Chinese Cup Mark

[neurorocker]

Anyone recognize this Chinese mark on a gilded cordial cup? It has some resemblance to the LYH mark on Chinese Export Silver Marks listings.

Hi Neurorocker,

I don't know if it's just me, but I see a hammer across a set of shears at the bottom of the mark. I'm wondering if they are not Chinese characters at all, but something completely different.

I'm not certain, Trev. What are you thinking?

Best,
Nate

It look like Japan or Korean. Dun look Chinese to me. Just my 2 cents. :-)
