Stumped on Japanese

Can anyone help me with these translations. Two are from a tea or sake cup and the other is from a vase. Thank you freetobeuneek.

I'm stumped on so much Japanese there'd be no room for any comments!

Top: Isn't that a drawing rather than writing?

Middle: It says "Maruko". There seems to be a ceramics manufacturer by that name in Nagoya if that is where this piece was made.

Bottom: It says "Made in Hukagawa"
