THIS VASE IS 12" TALL. ACROSS THE HANDLES IS 9". THE BODY IS 7.5". THE SIGNATURE APPEARS TO BE ORIENTAL,POSSIBLY JAPANESE. I CANT FIND ANYTHING SIMILAR.

I WAS JUST LOOKING THROUGH THE IMAGES OF OTHER ASIAN VASES, AND FOUND THE SAME SIGNATURE ON ITEM #424. THERE WAS SOME REFERENCE TO KUTANI IN THE COMMENTS. ALSO A REFERENCE TO NIPPON. SOMETHING I CAN RESEARCH.
It’s the best Japanese version of Gouda that I’ve ever seen.
The signature needs to be rotated 90 degrees to the right.
I think it is Satsuma.
It looks like an imitation of a Dutch pottery called Mijnlieff.
Quite something actually.
That would date it to the late nineteenth century to about 1910. Jan Willem Mijnlieef set up the company called “Aardewerkfabriek Fayence-en Tegelfabriek Holland” in Utrecht, Holland in 1894.
Brantjes Purmerend also worked in something similar.
Satsuma marks here ...

I have not found the marks yet.
It's a fabulous vase, and great information Vetraio.
Thank you. This is great Information. Definitely Gouda in style. Now if I can only find the Japanese part of this puzzle. JOHN
The mark says KINKOZAN, NIPPON.
Kinkosan was a well known Kyoto Satsuma kiln.
I have an art deco vase made by Kinkozan in 1920-30s.
Thank you very much for this information. This completes the picture. JOHN
makes perfect sense well done, HOSTERNOKKE
