Looks Japanese. Almost like Sumida but without the figures.

I went thru my mark book and on line and couldn't find much. Love the pottery though.

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

Like a cross between Sumida and Inarco

I checked lines, arrows k's. Then I thought it was Michael Casson. A small "l" sideways "M".

I also checked foreign marks too. I whip the mark book out again.

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

What are the dimensions of the pots?

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

Reminds me also of Yixing teapots......

Need to send marks to friend who can tell what country....

They're not yixing.

Japanese unless the marks are fake but i doubt it.
