I would appreciate any help with this Satsuma mark. Thanks









Link :Satsuma bowl

The mark reads: Satsuma 薩摩 Yaki 焼 - Hattori 服部 Zo 造 (Satsuma ware - made by Hattori).

This is a Hattori Seizo mark, which is a trademark of a Nishiki-Gama studio near Yokohama, not to be confused with Hattori Kyoho marks.
Hattori Seizo is Satsuma style Yokohama export ware from circa 1900 till 1940 before World War II. The blank pottery vase was made in Kyoto or Mino and then brought to the Nishiki-Gama for the final coloring / decorating process. Most of these commercial products were mass produced for export.

Thank you for your help.

The character mark reads in two stacks right to left as "服都造薩摩焼" (Satsuma yaki Fukoto? zo). Google found one and only one mention of the source as a 2021 Dawsons auction in the UK, where it was translated as "Made in Kyoto". Remember, though, I.Nagy is the authority while I remain a Chinese language flunky.

Best regards,
