Didnt want to include these in "pottery around the home" just to ask for an ID so thought I would start a new thread. I've looked through hundreds of marks online and can't find a thing. Look Japanese but?
I'm currently using them dor bookends in a spare bedroom.

Thanks Mark...they are a coup...
Thanks Mark...they are a couple of my favorites too. What do you think of the impressd mark? If I could narrow down the country of origin itmwould help I think...don't recall where I purchased them but I do know it was at two different shops in two different states somewhere here in the midwest.
How
about doing a Scottish grave rubbing on the hallmark? Take thin white paper and with the side of a pencil tip rub over the hallmark making sure that you only do it until a clear impression of the hallmark shows up. Sometimes this technique will highlight areas too hard to be seen by the eye. If it turns out well, take a pic of the rubbing.
I wish that I could see it well enough to discern the symbols in the hallmark. I can't tell if they are letters or symbols.
