Helo to all forum members!

I just got set of 3 japanese silver cup.
They all have the "jungin" hallmark, but the maker mark I cant read...
And biggest cup have an artist signing, maybe someone can tell me something about it?
Its the Meiji era or later?

Thanks for your answers and forgive me for bad english.

Marking...







An artist signature.

The maker is Muramatsu. Currently, I have no information on this maker, but I would guess that the cups are from the 1920s or 1930s.

When they were new, they would have come in a wooden box that might have included details about the maker and perhaps the date of their purchase or their presentation as a gift.

For the sake of clarity, the jungin mark means "pure silver," but is not, properly speaking, a hallmark.

Regards,
