Subject:Help translating marks on lid of antique Kutani teapot
Posted By: Carl Sat, Jul 29, 2017 IP: 2602:306:3347:a8f0:b
Had to re-post this message as the link to picture didn't work previously. Can anyone help to translate the marks on the inside of teapot lid of Kutani teapot from about 1882? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a photo of the teapot. When purchased, we found a handwritten note inside from previous owner stating that the teapot was bought on her wedding trip to Japan in April 1882.

I read it as 'Kutani - Shûseisha' (九谷 収成社) but that leads me not further.
