The mark reads: Hododa 保土田 Zo 造 - Dai Nippon 大日本 (Made by Hododa - Great Japan).
Mark of Takichi Hododa born in 1868 in Kanagawa.
In 1893 he opened his store in Yokohama: Hododa Shoten.
In 1897 he became a manufacturer and exporter of Satsuma ware, fine arts, curiosities, etc. from Yokohama to the USA and Europa. So from that time on, it's likely that Satsuma pieces with Hododa's name were made for him and not by him.

Martin.
