Trying to figure out the origin of this piece.

I thought this bowl looked Asian but looks like a western signature. Maybe just asian influenced. Does anyone recognize this signature? It also looks like it was painted with gold leaf as one of the three places around the rim that are decorated gold is only about half the size of the other two, as if maybe the artist who painted this piece maybe ran out of gold before they could finish. Thats just a guess as I no nothing.
