Hi Victor,
As I mentioned in your previous post, this isn't Chinese but Japanese. What makes you think this could be Wanli period (Ming dynasty) or Kraak?
The separations on the outside do not mean something must be Kraak, and even if it were, Kraak and other wares were extensively copied in Japan.
There is no porcelain shape like this in Chinese porcelain.
The shape of the top rim is typical Japanese.
I guess it could be Meiji or Taisho period, but this would need to be confirmed by a Japanese porcelain specialist.
