Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal. This appears to be a gourd shaped porcelain vase in the manner of "famille noire", which is a kind of famille verte ("green family") but with a black background. The vase bears a rubber stamped four character Qianlong Nian Zhi mark and some factory markings. This vase was made in the 1990s to deceive buyers, the extra dirt applied to the base is a clear indication. If correctly described these vases sell in the 20 - 40 USD range. Try to avoid those vases intentionally smeared with a mixture of bitumen and petrol.
