Pics need to be another 90 degrees for the mark to be in the correct position

Like a cross between Sumida and Inarco

If it's Chinese the"AG" would date it July 1960. If its "AG"  on the last picture.

Often the Japanese marked the bottom with the area where it was made rather than the actual maker !!

They're not yixing.

Japanese unless the marks are fake but i doubt it.
