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!)

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".

Thank you both for the replies. This is really helpful and gives me an idea of how to find about further information on the tea set. :)
