Hi, I wasn't not able to identify the mark. Can someone help to identify it? Thanks

Stan

Im not sure about this but it could be a Kichi or Yoshiyama meaning Lucky.

According to the specific page it is Kutani export porcelain made by ?? (probably reads 'Hyakuta' or 'Momota; both readings exist in names). It seems these belong to items that were made for export starting with the Meiji period.

Another item also with the same mark says 'Hyakuta made, Japan, Yokohama'. However, the name is also mentioned in relation with Arita. There is a ceramics shop/company with that name there. Either there are multiple ceramics businesses with that name, or it might be just a trader.
