    @l'électeur yes! I have the figurines as well! Now, I know who gave me that wooden sign! And, only a 1000 yen going away present... ouch.

It says 「[陶]{とう}びな [元光作]{げんこうさく}」.

That means "Ceramic Hina Dolls Produced by Genkou"

The ひ-to-び change is by rendaku.

In case anyone is unfamiliar with Hina-Matsuri, Wiki has it.
