Subject:Can you translate to English please

These symbols are on the bottom of a large Imari bowl I inherited. I would like to know what it says and if there is a date there. Thank you for your time and help. Cheers Rob

On the right site it reads: Hizen 肥前 Arita 有田 (Arita town in Hizen province).
On the left in my opinion: Do-e-sha 働エ社 (working company) Zo 造 (made).
I'm not 100% sure about Do-e-sha, might also be: Do-yu-sha 働ユ社, also translated by Google as Working Company.
Hopefully another expert on this forum can tell more, I've never seen this mark before.
Regards,
Martin.

I can only make a deep bow for I.Nagy. Again I have learned something from him.
Thanks,
Martin.
