Hi all I haven’t been on the forum for ages but I’m back with some new or old but new to my possession Asian pottery and ceramics. While I can seem to figure out and find the markings that correlate to Chinese Pottery Marks the marks I have on these few items bases I can’t seem to find any exact information for what each line represents exactly. I know how to read left to right and what portions stand for what but I can’t read Japanese or Chinese I can only match up the letters or marks that are identical to some items I have or half will match and so on.
i would like to find out what the markings stand for but also what the era of the make is and or any other information to the style or anything else that a dealer or antique or vintage ware professional can identify and so on. Any info and price ranges or estimates would be hehe at too. But namely looking for a English translation on the stamps and if it’s not stamped in Japanese or Chinese rather just a “Japan” or “Made In China” means for the dating or era of make? Thanks any info welcome.
Most of these items I cant find any correlations online that indicate where or what era they are from or were made in or who they were made under or for being emperor or other rulers.
I’ll start with the vases. These MAY be Chinese or Japanese or replicas I don’t know so these first section is Asian ware’s of Unknown Origin.
Item list for inspection:
No1.
Orange and Gold Gilt HoneyComb food dog ears and 4 cobras I believe the marking photo is side ways but it may be the correct way I’m not sure. Any info would be OF HUGE HELP.
No2.
Crackle Glaze ornate Chinese (I believe but may be wrong?) potentially rare? from inspection online but I am not certain. Depicts a battle scene of Warriors of some kind. Not sure what time period this is from? Any help is very useful:
No3.
Marked “Made In China”. Any info on time of make and also Pricing estimates if your confident enough to give a realistic estimate.
No4.
No mark but not the same as the above the Bowl came from another purchase and I have 2x of them both have no specific marks. Any info welcomed thanks.
No5.
Small 11 cm flower and flower bud vase.
NO6.
A Tea? strainer and mug with markings on the side of the mug and lid. Even if this is new I would love to know what it means. And what if anything it is worth. Thanks for any info.
No7.
Boltic Blue Peacock and Floral Medium sized vase with Japanese Mark. Any info very thankful.
No8.
“Japan” STAMPED Tea pot or Ginger Jar. Hexagon birds and flowers.
No9.
Small Trinket box Hexagon “Japan” stamp. Any info age and value as for all item appreciated.
No10.
Set of 5 Saki Cups that have differing lady’s on them and I wonder if they are any special kind or that may be not a huge production of these? Any information great.
No 11.
Lastly I have this metal Buddhist? Or Asian Bell of some kind that has various scriptures on it and symbols on each flank on the rim. Any information on an approximate time and or what it reprise take or who it was made for or by would be great to find out also.
Thank you for the help and assistance!

For my money all items, except for the bell, teacup with infuser, and the cups with ladies on them, all look like mass produced items from the 80's.
There is no wear on the bottoms of any to suggest any great age.
Still....Kopes is your man, for sure.

I have a translation app that when I point my camera at this image it just says 'Bird flower language fragrant' - so ??

I may use this post to add some other items I come across or that my partner has to sell as they collect a lot of Asian Oriental items of all kinds of which some of these items are theirs.
Again thank you to anyone who can help with identification and translation to the valuation approximate if you feel comfortable pricing them. Thank you.

The sake cup looks like a Kutani pottery mark. Two of Japan's most famous potteries are in Kyoto, Kutani and Kiyomisu.
Usually "made in Japan" was used on post WW2 items.
Kopes might be able to help out, he spent a bit of time in Japan, and maybe China.

Could be a bit of Cloisonne in there - but agree - mass.
