Your pic was upside down.

The top 6 characters refer to - fired at Arita, saga prefecture.

The large boxed character is probably a makers mark.

Arita is a town located in Nishimatsuura District, Saga Prefecture, Japan. It is known for producing Arita porcelain, one of the traditional handicrafts of Japan. It also holds the largest ceramic fair in Western Japan, the Arita Ceramic Fair.

Trying to get an idea of the age of this item.

Do any of these marks indicate age?

It's possible the large character being a makers mark will refer to a particular period that mark was used otherwise no dates as I understand.

A lot of Arita Imari stems from around 18th and 19th century as well as newer current designs.

If you can determine which style the plate is that may give a better idea if it is from the Edo period or more recent.
