    here we have an unusual item, a small porcelain object in the shape of a soldiers helmet with a scene and some calligraphy inside, I have posted this and hope that no one is offended by the text in the helmet, so apologies in advance, I only show as a collector, it would be very helpful for me if anyone of you out there had a moment to decipher the writing for me, thank you

      Why is there an airplane on it?

      WW II sake cup. Possibly ``Zero`` aircraft. Samurai, kamikaze: translation needed. Made during WW II or earlier. Very interesting item.
