Gareth, that's a Japanese Kyoto-style vase, made of Satsuma-type stoneware. The motif, featuring Buddhistic "Rakan" (Arhats) on one side and flowers on the other, looks to have been applied on the biscuit in polychrome enamels and accented with the Moriage slip-painting technique. The writing on the inside of the base appears to be a factory notation, indicating this vase to be one of a pair, and meant to sit on the right side when displayed together. I'd guess the date of manufacture to be circa 1925 but invite better estimates on that point.
Regards,
Bill H
