Hi Mario,
I think the mark reads: Hinode Shokai 日出 商會.
The "Hinode Shokai Morimura Brothers" was started and established by Toyo Morimota in 1878 with offices in Tokyo and New York. The company exported Japanese miscellaneous goods and antiques. In 1881 the company altered the corporate name from "Hinode Shokai Morimura Brothers" to "Morimura Brothers" for exporting pottery and porcelain ware. In 1904 it became known as the Nippon Toki Kaisha in Tokyo, which became later the foundation of the Noritake company.
Regards,
Martin,
