New Members alligator18 Posted November 4, 2013 at 08:07 PM New Members Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 at 08:07 PM Hello! Can anyone please tell me what the following symbol means? It's on a tea set I've acquired. Thanks so much (Apologies if it's the wrong way around, or not even Chinese!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muyongshi Posted November 5, 2013 at 12:23 AM Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 at 12:23 AM It seems that it is a place name: sheng4 shan1 and is written in traditional characters. As a place name it doesn't necessarily have a "meaning" but it could mean something like "beautiful mountain". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imron Posted November 5, 2013 at 02:53 AM Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 at 02:53 AM Seems like a place in Japan - Katsuyama. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
