Hello All! Can anyone identify the mark on this Satsuma tea pot? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! David.

The two characters under the circled cross in this mark probably read down as 'Baizan'. I found one online reference to a potter who used that name and who was alive from 1885-1968. The citation indicates he founded a kiln in the prefecture associated with Kutani wares but did not mention Satsuma. See the link below.

Best regards,
