    Google, camera translate app, Chinese apps, tried a lot but no results.

    Anyone seen this before?

    Welcome. The best place to find Asian Marks is Gotheberg Marks on Chinese Porcelain (gotheborg.com) They also have Japanese marks.

    The ladies are Japanese.
    The photo is very small, is it Satsuma ware?

    They do look like Satsuma style, which is not to say that there were no Chinese uses of Japanese styles in ceramic decoration. ;) I just scanned through the Satsuma section at Gotheborg and found some similar but not identical marks under Kozan. 1920s and 30s estimates of age.

    Let's see if @Mat is available to comment.

    True, the Chinese copied the style. The photo is very small, so impossible to tell if it is Chinese.
    The mark looks Japanese to me, but who knows what the Chinese makers got up to.;)

    @Ce BCA ?:)

    Bigger images updated. I think the same, that's Satsuma but can't find anything about this red stamp

    Ah, They were made as lamp bases, I suspect, unless the interiors show use as planters (which I doubt.)

    The overall crackling appears to have been intentional.

    These are more of the Chinese reproductions of Satsuma ware from the later 20th century, 1970+. I have no idea on the mark, looks more like Korean form wise, but it is probably meant to be vaguely Chinese seal script in some form.
