    They are Japanese, are they porcelain or pottery? If pottery they are satsuma ware, the first mark says Nagata Zo (made by Nagata). The larger mark isn't very clear, if you can post a clearer pic I might be able to help on that one as well (It's upside down in your pic as well).

    The second is translucent so not Satsuma. Possibly Kutani porcelain. It’s not the standard Kutani mark

    Certainly a possibility, or given the mark it may be Yokohama-etsuke.

    Japan Yokohama on the right, so it will be Yokohama painted ware Yokohama-etsuke (porcelain). I can only make out two of the characters on the left, 2nd is mura, and 4th is zo (made). Will look again tomorrow.
