In the Chinese culture the symbolic meaning of crane is longevity and the bat is a symbol of happiness and joy.
Japanese approach to bats in art differs, they seldom use them as decorative motif. Therefore, I think your pot
is Chinese.
Chinese reading:
桂齊鑄　　Guiqi Foundry
Unfortunately,on Chinese language net I could not find any cue to this name.

With regards,
