Marked on the bottom, but I cannot identify the maker. I am not an expert on Japanese porcelain. I found this at an estate sale--there were literally hundreds of Japanese Satsuma and Kutani porcelain pieces there. She was an avid collector. I was told that the pieces in her collection dated between the early 1900's and 1950s. This was one of the prettiest coffee pots hot there! It features 2 geisha girls on one side and about 33 men on the other side each wearing beautiful long coats.
