Subject:Green vase on vase

Greetings,

Would anybody know what kind of mark this is? Never seen anything like this before...

Thanks

It's a pity that there is a hole in the mark.
The mark is displayed upside down, but looking at the visible first character and a part of the last character, the mark is most probably: Kutani 九谷 Zo 造 (= made in Kutani).
For more about Kutani, see this link:

Regards,
Martin.

Thanks very much. Finally not so much a pity because your interpretation seems almost certain to be the right one.
