Japanese Satsuma from around 1900.
The seal mark and the impressed mark both read the same: Kinkozan 錦光山 Zo 造 (Made by Kinkozan). The seal in a somewhat stylistic way.
Under the square seal is probably the mark of the decorator working for the Kinkozan studio.

But I can't decipher those 2 characters. The first one looks like 子 or 孑 or 于 and the second one is probably 翠 (Sui), but written differently.

We need the help of the more experienced experts in Chinese and Japanese writing like Bill H. or I.Nagy to decode that.

Regards,
Martin.

Bottom marks,
錦光山造 - Kinkōzan-zō - Kinkōzan Made
玉翠 - Gyokusui
Ceramic of Kyoto.
The Gion festival scene of Yasaka Shrine in Kyoto is depicted on the vase.It is the most famous festival in Japan dating back as far as the 9th century. The carts are special floats, which are up to 25 meters tall and can weight up 12 tons.

With regards,

In that case, post a message with some sharp photos and at least 1 of the bottom, regardless of whether it has a mark or not.

Martin.
