Not that every character is legible, this is the only possibility that I could think of and it makes sense in me.

The larger kanji is "Asahi", probably the porcelain maker's name.

"Asahi
Nagoya, Japan"


Your Japanese proficiency shall be in direct proportion
to your true interest in the Japanese Mind.
