Subject:Satsuma

I wonder if anyone can help identify the characters in the impressed mark on this satsuma vase. Any comment would be appreciated.

Hi,

It looks like a number: 957 = 九 五 七
I'm uncertain about the last character, the only thing that makes sense is, that it's also a number and then I think it's 2 = 二.

The last character may be the possessive, 之, which I think is pronounced "No" in this case.

Best regards,
