Featured Ceramic compote - European?

Hi all, I’m hoping you can help to ID this little compote. It has a signature I can’t decipher - Cresps, Crejes? There’s an odd hole in the base too - maybe where it was held when fired or decorated? Measures 8cm high and 16cm across the rim. My guess based on decor and shape is anywhere from 1920-1960s but no real clue. Any suggestions or leads appreciated. Many thanks.

 

Someone has helpfully told me it’s Crespo from Equador. I don’t know the likely age as yet.

"The tradition of ceramics from Cuenca, Ecuador starts around 1500 B.C. Later during the colonial period, Cuenca maintained a leading position as a center for ceramic artistry. This legacy has been reinforced in recent years though the enthusiastic participation of reknown contemporary artists and decorators who have added prestige to the ceramics from Cuenca.

Today, the name Crespo is a symbol of this tradition in ceramics, due to the collaboration of Pablo and Pedro Crespo. These two brothers have made possible to produce high quality artistic and decorative ceramics with the Crespo signature."
