How to read this calligraphy? What does it mean?
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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendaku).

In case anyone is unfamiliar with Hina-Matsuri, [Wiki has
it](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinamatsuri).
