Very nice. It may be a brush washer. No marks on base?
i believe this must be sprigged stoneware but the color of yours is unique

A photo shoot f the vase might help even if there are no markings.
I aplogise .... a photo shot of the base might help even if there are no markings.
I apologise !!!
lol vetraio50!!! ure making me laugh
The base is mark free, no evidence of a sticker, no imprint in the clay, no wax, crayon, ink...nada
Also, it seems to be a type of moriage, typical in Asian pieces, however the decorations along the top are more classical, Greek key like.
It seems to have Asian and western influence.
Well....I found this piece on the Internet with the Greek key type of design and the other design....

Which is the first thing I have stumbled across...so this design around the lip dies excuse on other pieces...but Aja's it wasn't painted it was etched into the red clay...
Here is the close up of the lip/mouth....

The Greek key decor (meandros) stumps me. I have a Japanese bowl with the Greek key decor on the interior rim. My understanding is the decor became important in many cultures through Greek vases, just hard to see the connection.
