    Seeing the whole item will help with context and whether it's Chinese or Japanese.

    It looks to be Japanese and probably late 19th century. The style is Kutani, although it isn't marked Kutani, the mark is most likely the maker. The second two characters seem to be 邑 (kuni or mura) 造 (zo - made/created). I can't make out the first character to make it fit with the rest of the mark. So likely something like ???kuni created or ???mura created.

    Perhaps "Ima", "今"?

    Certainly possible, it doesn't fit with referenced names for Kutani that I can find, that said they are by no means all known or well catalogued either.

    Thanks a lot again) Any idea of how much it can cost?

    It isn't particularly fine work, also I can't judge the size from the picture - if it's a saucer it's not going to be very much at all as a piece on it's own.

    It`s 13.5 cm in diameter. Yes, I think it`s a saucer. I`ve bought it for $18.

    That's ok as a retail price, but there won't be any profit in selling it on if that was your aim.
