Hi Ping,
Not quite sure which it is. The decoration is a bit crowded for Chinese, and the top rim decoration is something I have never seen on Chinese items with the prunus decoration. So, could as well be Japanese. The bottom looks as if it were at least early 20th century.

Here is the result of an image search, for further research. Some Japanese items are also shown:
