It's Japanese. The mark on the underside is the Japanese equivalent of the European family crest.

Thanks Trev! How old might this object be? 1920s? Would be happy to hear your opinion.

I have a book (somewhere!) that lists over 4,000 Japanese crests, I'll try and dig it out and see if there is a match.

Hi Sebastian,
I finally tracked down the book that I mentioned, but unfortunately I could not find a match in it.
Hopefully another member may have better resources.
