Hello! Clayart artists. Good day to you all. I found a handmade
plaster stamp in an art store in Charleston. I think the artist made if
from a butter mold, possibly. It is in another
language-Chinese?Japanese? I have tried to translate it by looking in
books, and by looking on the internet. I have had no luck.

I have posted a photo on flickr

I am using it on some pottery pieces and I would love to know what it
means. I will appreciate any help.
Thanks so much,
