Left: "……合兴号". (合興號)
I just found a bowl from the period of the Republic of China. The buttom said: 仁重興號. I speculated that it might represent a certain era name. But I didn't found any era names match it. I really don't know what is that mean.

Right: "恒五六". simplified "石又". It comes from Kangxi Dictionary.

It does not give out specifical means. It might just mean stone. Because "石" was also a unit of measurement in ancient China, especially for grain. 1 "stone" = 29.95 kg. So I guess "恒五六"just like "五谷丰登"：Abundant harvests.
