Hand-painted pottery/jar

by Lorlin
(Philippines)

Hi there Peter, I am glad that after a long search of an expert I found you. I have this inherited item with marks unknown to me. Perhaps, its not only a thing of value but made such a very long long time ago...please need your help to describe the markings and the probable date it was made. I would appreciate it if you can provide the information I need. I am attaching the photo for your reference. Thank you so much.

No idea on my side. Are you sure it is pottery? The bright colors are often present in enamels on brass or copper base. If it is pottery clay, I have only seen similar decorations on painted Yixing wares (clay).

The mark is completely unknown. The character style seems to indicate something of the 20th century, but I couldn't tell you whether from the first or second half, I'm afraid.
