Japanese Hirado mark saying: Hirado 平戸 San 産 Giei 伎栄 (or Shiei) Zo 造 (product of Hirado, made by Giei).

"Hirado San" is an abbreviation of "Hirado Seisan" (= Hirado product).

In 1871 a workshop was founded called "The Nagasaki Hirado Trading Company", which was a Hirado ware maker, decorator and exporter, mainly to The Netherlands. They signed their products with:
- Hirado San - Giei Zo
- Manpozan - Giei Sei
- Manpozan - Shoho Sei
Manpozan is a fictitious name and Giei might be Shiei.

Martin

Your porcelain is Japanese.
Bottom mark reads,
平戸産技栄造　　Hirado san giei zo
You will find a lot of pages on the net about Hirado porcelain in English.
With regards,
