Hello this is something that I found years ago and I am wondering if anyone knows more about it, I think it’s Japanese, it seems like it’s very good quality

Yes, that looks distinctly Japanese. It’s a cup (yunomi) for steeped tea, mainly used for sencha. There are many kilns in Japan so it’s hard to know which one this is (I don’t really read Japanese but the second character is -yama or -zan, meaning “mountain”). The flower is a bit abstract but I think it’s asagao or morning glory. A very pretty little cup.
Thanks rhine for the great information about the cup , it looks very well made and a bit special
