Hi I have a Satsuma incanser and I would like to translate it. Half of It I know, the Dai Nippon and the symbol for the house.





Link :Loredana

𠆢　symbol over characters reads "yama"
The character below reads,
鑛　-　kō　（English; ore)
The symbol and character together reads "Yamakō"

This symbol and a character under it are used usually in shop, brand, guild, or studio names.
The best known example is サ under 𠆢,　which reads "Yamasa" the logo of the famous soy sauce brand.

With regards,
I.Nagy

In my opinion, I see that as the Dai Nippon Tsukuru Kutani mark. The mark is typically seen on Meiji period pieces. However, no dating is possible without photos of the piece.
