The first mark is a Satsuma mark: Shozan 祥山 from circa 1900. No further information about this Shozan. During the end 19th and early 20th century there were several Shozan's producing pottery, with different 1st characters "Sho" as well.

The second mark reads as Jakuzan (Wakayama) 若山 Izumo 出雲 with a separated Dai 大 (Great) mark, but I don't know the meaning of this "Dai", perhaps short for "Dai Nippon"?. Normally this mark is without the Jakuzan characters, see my picture.
Date: end 19th and early 20th century
You can find more about this mark on the Modern Japanese Pottery and Porcelain Marks website:

There are 2 links to Japanese websites, on where the text can be translated in English by Google.
Regards,
Martin.
