Hi Peter
Can you give me some assistance with the markings on Jug Teapot and Plate. The jug and teapot height is approximately 7cm. Is it Chinese or Japanese.
Thank you kindly

Look like recent European attempt to imitate 18th-century Worcester (England) porcelain, which of course often tried to imitate Chinese export porcelain. Set is missing teacup and sugar bowl.

Hello,
This seems to be copying 18th century Chinese export porcelain, but it is probably contemporary.

These are neither Chinese nor Japanese characters; these markings are illegible. They are not Far Eastern characters. It doesn't seem to be Korean either, as far as I can see.

These items could have made somewhere else, not in China or Japan. Otherwise, I don't see why they would not just have painted normal character marks.
