Featured Really weird Chinese? Cup. Does anyone have an idea of age? Origin?

I love this little cup - it's so unusual with the foot looking just like the stem of a vegetable. The mark is impressed but unfortunately half of it isn't legible. Does anyone have any ideas about age, origin, maker etc?

Thank you fellow.antiquers.

 

It is Japanese Satsuma, likely from Kyoto - Awata. Here is a cup I have marked Taizan with a similar decoration, but you mark seems not to be the same as on my piece.

 

Thanks for that Mat,

It's a really odd foot don't you think? Ive never seen anything like that before.

 

I think the cup is a (lotus?) blossom and the foot it's stalk, nice! I think I have seen that again, but it is certainly not common.

 

It looks like some Banko ware to me.

 

From what can be seen I think your mark could be an impressed Kinkozan mark, but I am not sure.

 

Here is a link to an old discussion about a vase of mine. Note the base.

Well thank you all for your fascinating responses. The cup seems really old to me any ideas on dates?
