大日本　-　Dai-Nihon - Greater Japan
水鎌製　-　Mizukama-sei - Mizukama Made

Most likely name of kiln in Kutani or Kaga. Looks like early Shōwa period product.

With regards,
I.Nagy

The mark reads: Dai 大 Nippon 日本 Mizukama 水鎌 Sei 製 (Great Japan made by Mizukama).
Transfer printed Seto ware.
I have not found any information about Mizukama.
Since the mark is also seen on Kutani ware, I suppose it's a firm exporting porcelain to the west around 1900-1920.

Regards,
Martin.
