Definitely kanji so it could be either Japanese or Chinese (it should be read top to bottom, so if you flip the image 90 degrees clockwise, that's how it's supposed to be read), but I only recognise 2 of the kanji and I'm not sure about the reading so I can't really tell you what it means, just that it could be Japanese. I'm useless, sorry

Hi. From I'm from Japan.
Not a expert on pottery so I searched on Japanese google.
It says 保土田 (Hotoda) 造（zou) as Giruilla said.
Hotoda being the name of the fellow and zou meaning made by.
This Hotoda was a merchant living in Yokohama from the closing age of Shogunate period to beginning of Meiji era.
Basically what he did was importing Satsuma (Modern day Kagoshima. Kyushu) style vases, and added the paint work in Yokohama to export it overseas.
It could be something of value so please take good care of it
