Featured Japanese Teapot-Can you help w/ glaze & ID the mark ? Any opinions welcome

Here's a little ( 7" long by 2 3/4" high) teapot. It has a 'swirl' glaze and is marked just below the hollow handle (see pics). Any feedback on this piece is most welcome.Thanks-Bosko

 

Hopefully you can make out the mark,if not i will re-post a clearer pic (if my phone can do it).

 

Agate ware, I'd guess it's called.

 

First character is only a partial form, but looks like it's probably Hida Tosen:

You guys nailed it ! Hilda Tosen /Agateware/Nerikomi Teapot-thanks so much.

 

It looked like Niloak 'stead of glaze to me...very interesting material. Thanks!

Whit-thanks for the feedback,it does look like USA Niloak.Found it online w/Ce BCA's help- it's Hilda Tosen /Agateware/Nerikomi Teapot/Japan ($70-80,better than a sharp stick ?).Kudos on the old moro/spanish/junk pistol that came w/ the Keris (Calis/Kalis !?)-will post pics when i take it apart.

 

The characters are 陶仙 if that helps.
陶 = pottery, and 仙 = imortal being (also used by recluse literati, monks, artisans living in isolation in the mountains, hence the character being composed of the elements "person / 人 /亻" on the left and "mountain / 山" on the right. )

 

Jay Bee- You're language knowledge is amazing ! It sounds like poetry from The Book of Changes. You know for 40 years whenever a great change/decision is coming about,we always consult The I Ching's Hexagrams.We also do lots and lots of research,if an impasse is encountered, we toss the Oracle's yarrow sticks (or pennies !).
