What does this mean?

Hello, this item is a Chinese blue and white ceramic vase, approximately 14 inches tall and 10 inches wide, decorated with traditional figural scenes in underglaze cobalt blue. The glaze shows crackling, which indicates it was either intentionally produced to resemble earlier wares or has developed age-related crazing. The base bears a mark, though from the image it appears more decorative than an imperial reign mark, suggesting a later production. The style of decoration, body form, and glaze application are typical of 20th-century export ceramics rather than earlier Qing examples.

In terms of market value, such vases are collected for their aesthetic appeal rather than rarity. Earlier Ming or Qing dynasty blue and white examples command very high prices, while 20th-century versions like this generally occupy the decorative market. Given its good condition with no chips and its size, a fair value would fall between 150 and 300 USD at auction.
