The top mark says 'Kaga, Kutani', and the other says 'Kaga, Made in Kutani'. Kaga is the former province where Kutani was located. Kutani is now part of Ishikawa Prefecture. The change apparently occurred in the 19th century, but I've been unable to find reference to the exact date, which seemingly would bear on the age of these markings. Perhaps you'll have better luck.
Best regards,
Bill H.
