In the last photo you can see an imprint on the base which looks like a Sanpei flag found on pieces of Awaji. But am pretty sure that these are Japanese MCM. I don't think anything like this was made on Awaji. Can anyone decipher the mark?

Aoki mark, in fact it's the 1st character of the name Aoki ??: Ao (green / blue).
Mark is form the Aoki Kyodai-Shokai (Aoki Brothers Company), which was founded in the 1890's by Aoki Jinichiro (1863-1955).
The Aoki mark dates from around 1890-1900 till the 1950's and is in blue or red or impressed.
The red mark can be found on pieces not originally intended for export, whereas the blue marks were used on "made for export" pieces.
from the options the embossing mark is the most late so from 1950 on probably quite much later
addendum it looks like it could it could be earlier because there is former embossing before 1950, but this is uncombined embossing and got an different front relief
thank you apostata.
