      Asian... oh my misspelling... where are my glasses!

      The circled characters are likely the family name which identifies the artist. You might have some luck researching Yixing artists.

      I don't know if this helps, I asked my Chinese friend what this stamp says, just as a translation (she is not a pottery expert). She said it's not a makers mark. She gave me this link:

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sancai

      Sorry that doesn't make much sense, I mean my friend said it's not the makers name stamp.

      I just got more clarification and found I was mistaken in my last comments about the name stamp (sorry). The characters on the right reading from top to bottom say "san cai" . That directly means three colours, referring to the glaze style. And the characters in the circle are still unknown, and could be the name stamp. Although my friend says she is unfamiliar with that character and it is not in her opinion a typical given or family name. Doesn't mean it isn't the makers mark though I guess. She said it looks like the character in the circle is in traditional not simplified characters-just from a Chinese language point of view. Hope that helps some.

      Maybe "sancai yuan"
      Yuan= garden or workshop

      Thank you for your interest and time helping me! I am stumped and have been researching this for quite some time. Grandma was reported to have a piece from the Ming Dynasty but I have doubts this is it... My Grandmother traveled extensively from childhood and love glass art (Galle') etc... and Asian pieces... I have 2 embroidery panels. And signed Nanaho Inaba teapot etc... She passed when I was 9... only child of an only child and my family all passed away when I was young... So... while my son was deployed in Marine Corp to keep my sanity... I finally opened boxes closed for decades and learned antiques from Edwardian to MCM..
      HOWEVER trying to learn Asian antiques is quite humbling and I have never realized country is new but truely 200 plus years is a blip on the antique radar screen of Asian treasures! Thank you again for your help and yes I am blissfully antique afflicted with no cure thankfully... big hugs with appriciated love Kendra
