Question:
Found this darling cup & saucer set, with the following as the mark.
Despite over an hour searching online, I'm still stumped.
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to the maker?
Thank you so much!

Answer:
Ohhh, sure!
Darling, eh? (hint hint... pic, please!)
Actually, I can't seem to locate our pottery mark book... I'll have to ask my better half where I've misplaced it...
Answer:
Hmmmm.
I can see the photo of the mark here at here!
Can't anyone else?
I'd appreciate any assistance, FiberGuy, you can offer.
This one has me pulling my hair out, and my eyes are crossing.
(NOT a good way to start my morning.)

Answer:
Mmm.
I'll bet he's looking for the photo of the darling cup and saucer set....
At least I was.

Answer:
Checked Collector's Guide to Made in Japan Ceramics Identification & Values Book IV by Carole Bess White copyright 2003 and didn't see the mark. I saw some similar but nothing that matched. Sorry!

(How's your week going Kathleen?) Duh. My fault - not enough coffee this a.m. Sorry 'bout that.
A different photo of the mark - a bit more clarity.
("Problem person" is receiving counceling at this time, which will hopefull result in a change for the better. Prayers are VERY MUCH needed & accepted.)
Answer:
Thanks for the photo. (And the update -- request acknowledged, will continue.)
Answer:
Thar we go!
Darling, I'd agree!
As far as the mark... our book seems to be MIA, but if I make it through today with a reasonable amount of sanity, I'll find it yet...
Cheers
