I believe the characters are:

薩摩焼 - SatsumaYaki
紅華園 - KoukaEn
於緑山造 - Oite Ryokuzan Zo

I believe "Oite" may serve as a conjunction like "Wherein" with reference the previous stack as a place name ("Red Flower Garden"? or Tea House"?), but defer to our Japanese experts.

Best regards,

Bill H.

not sure of the first missing character but I would guess 红，which is followed by 華，and 緑 is the character from your last column.

薩摩焼 紅華園 於 緑山 造
'Satsumayaki Kokaen oite Rokuzan zô'
(Satsuma ware, made by Rokuzan in Kokaen)

De name of the decorator can (eventually) also be read as 'Ryokuzan'.
