Asian style art vase that I inherited after my grandmother passed.

Hello, this item is a contemporary Asian-style decorative porcelain floor vase, most likely Chinese export-inspired or Japanese-inspired in design, dating to the late 20th to early 21st century. The tall baluster form, flared neck, white ground, dark neck panel, floral decoration, bird motif, and printed-looking enamel palette place it within the modern decorative ceramics market rather than the antique Asian porcelain market. The decoration imitates traditional East Asian floral and bird imagery, including peony-like blossoms and ornamental borders, but the overall finish, proportions, and surface treatment suggest a mass-produced decorative vase made for home furnishing rather than a hand-painted 19th-century or early 20th-century collector’s piece.
The vase appears to be in generally good decorative condition from the photographs, with no major breaks visible, though the images do not show the base, interior, or any maker’s mark. The size, approximately 25 inches tall and 9 inches wide, gives it good display presence, but similar modern Asian-style vases are common on the secondary market and sell mainly for interior decoration. Value would increase only if the base showed a recognized studio, kiln, or high-quality hand-painted mark. Based on the visible form, decorative quality, probable modern production, and current resale market, the fair market value is $60 to $150 USD.
