The characters are a "seal script", which was an older script used to write Chinese.

They are (in modern script): 鑄造壽山 (read from top to bottom)

 

It roughly translates to "Made in Shoushan", an area in Taiwan.

It's worth mentioning that 鑄 means 'cast', as in 'cast iron'.  It's the process of melting the metal and pouring it into molds and removing the molds after the metal cools.  That's not how pottery is made.
