A circle with a cross in it is Satsuma from Japan. Hard to tell from the photo if there is anything else inside the circle.

There is nothing else inside the circle, thank you!

This is my guess, but it looks like it could be a Western artist taking influence from Asian history. I'd guess from 1860-1940.
Edit: Don't take my word for it though, also no idea about the signature, sorry.

My grandfather was doing some family history when he told me of this vase on the windowsill, I know his ancestor picked it up around the Second Opium War (probably in China) as he was the stoker of a ship and I was wondering if there was any interesting history behind it; also if the symbol on the bottom is a maker's mark. If so the name of the maker would be interesting to know.
