Am I correct in thinking this is Choshuzan (left top 3 characters) and the middle top characters are dynasty ?

Hi Jon,

The mark reads:
- On the right: Satsuma 薩广 Yaki 焼 no 之 (or: Kore) = (This is?) Satsuma ware.
- In the middle: Asayama 朝山 Zo 造 Shi 士 = Made by (Mr.?) Asayama.
- On the left: Choshuzan 長州山 no 之 Ga 画 = Choshuzan painted this.

Choshuzan is one of the most common marks on Kyoto Satsuma (dragon)ware during the 2nd half of the Meiji period (1890-1910). It might be a surname or could be a kiln, studio or workshop as well.

I could not find anything about Asayama.

Regards,
Martin.
