I read it as 濵田製 and 笑直造 (Hamada sei/Eminao zô). I'm not sure about the correct pronunciation of 'Eminao'.

Please post an image of the entire object.

Guy,
Many thanks!Doing some browser searches with your translation there is an artist who signed himself Hamada sei Terunao zo.
I do not have a picture of the vase I am considering buying but will try and post a link to a similar one by the artist above.
Thanks again.
Mike

Mike,

Hamada is the name of the studio - workshop, famous for top end quality decorated vases in mixed metals. The second signature refers to the individual hammersmith/decorator, employed by the studio.
