    First thing... it's upside down. And it looks like a modern copy of a Ming Dynasty porcelain mark. If you upload some pictures of the rest of the item it would be easy to confirm whether or not that is the case.

    I can't tell you what they say, but I can tell you that they are upside down in your picture. It would probably also help to see the whole thing they are on.

    It looks like messily done transferware that has had a bad repair done to the rim.

    I don't think it was ever meant to be a fake of anything although the Mark is made to look like a Ming mark... I think it is very new transferware(printed decoration...even the mark). It is not old and it is not valuable. Plus it looks like someone repaired it with Play-Doh.

    The mark is "Great Japan Shui Lian Made" (I don't know the english name of this japanese porcelain.) But it's made during Japan colonize period (1895 - 1945).
    It is an orginal piece, but this Hall mark is not famous to most porcelain collectors.

    Thank you for the information - good to know accurately what it translates to - and that it's a bit older than I thought!
