What does this mean?

Dear Maggi,

A censer for decorative purposes made for the export to western world. Its Chinese and I would date it first half 20th century. It's old enough to be of interest for collectors and Asian art lovers. Details are nice and the piece is an eye catcher. My estimation is based on market prices on an auction with enough international exposure ( with prescription to Invaluable, live auctioneers or other good platform ).
