Dear Shawn,
My apologies for my late reaction.
Your vase is made in China and is a type of Shiwan war. Its a brown / yellos clay type of pottery famous for the ''Mudman' who are quite popular under collectors. Shiwan or Shiwanzhen is a Subdistrict of the provincial city of Foshan In China. Your vase is not antique yet I believe but made around 1940 / 1960. Chinese art is sought after these days' but your vase is not that attractive I think for buyers because of th age and the decoration and colour which are a little basic. I expect your vase to make a price around the estimate in auction.
