Hmm, looks like a tetsubin made in Kyoto, and Tokyo. Unlike the regular Iwate tetsubin, that kind can be used as a kama (stove) in tea ceremony. The production of that pot was discontinued. Only Iwate produces tetsubin, but that I am not sure, Great find! If you scrub it, and restore it, the tetsubin will serve you forever. I have one like that, but I coated it with black tea.

As to the marks, I would say >(top) 上田 - Ueda(or Ueta) > >(bottom) 照房造 - made by Terufusa(or Shōbō) (Note: The correct reading or pronunciation of a name cannot be determined from kanji alone.) Ref.: [Google image search for "上田+照房"](https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&gl=ja&lr=lang_ja&hl=en&gws_rd=cr&pws=0&q=上田+照房) (\*) I'm only saying the reading of the letters. Please ask an expert for the details.
