Correction,
大勢至菩薩

Here are some better pictures and although I realize objects like this have been copied a lot,is it possible this is mark and period.also there are two more lines of script than could be translated.

南無阿弥陀佛　-　Hail Amitabha Buddha
南無觀世音菩薩　-　Hail Boddhisattva　

With regards,

Here is a picture of the inside of the burners lid.There is a white crystalline substance built up in areas.

In the last photo the script looks like it got covered up by the Buddha figure at the bottom.Is it possible that the Buddha figures where applied over the top of the script?and might this piece have been fired twice?

I talked to a collector of European bronzes and this is what he told me.He said that the major auction houses wont authenticate a bronze using pictures only.Therefor I understand the volunteers reluctance to make comments on this piece.
