Cheryl,

Any ideas on what this mark says?



It's on the bottom of this bowl:



I don't think it's old, but when I saw the characters, I thought of you...

Any guidance would be much appreciated.

It says "Open From Other End".

" SHOWA period,emperor Hirohito dec 25,1926 to jan 7,1989.

That being said, it probably reads "Yankee go home"

emperor Hiroshito is the one who surrendered to McArthur??
But this looks like a nice piece and must be over 15 years old.
