This is a Japanese cloisonne vase with floral design over an interlocking pattern. It may have been made in or around the Meiji period (1868-2912), as these kinds of vases were in style during that time. I have included a link below with information about Japanese cloisonne if you are interested and a few hammer prices for similar items. The Fair Market Value for this vase is between $75 and $125.
