Chop Identification on new pots

[jquast]

I was wondering if anyone might be able to help identify the chops on two of these pots that I just picked up?

Thanks,
Jeff

I use this website but it includes higher end tokoname chops.

if it's not actually stamped or carved into the clay, it could just be the importer's stamp.

The blue pots looks to be a Tosu Uyematsu. Does anyone know anything about this potter?

Both chops are upside down, and Both pots are Tosui, but not Uematsu Tosui, these are most definitely 3rd generation Tosui: Mizuno Shikao, mostly referred to simply as Tosui. For more on the topic see this blog post of mine:
