Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal and please excuse the delay. This piece is a bit exotic and such are not very common at auction. It appears to be a tunisian pottery vase, handpainted with geometric patterns and dots, slightly similar to art noveau pottery, but most likely made in the last quarter of the 20th century. The shape and type of footrim and the dotted patterns are typical for this region in North Africa. It might have been a travel souvenir or just a present. The estimate is based on similar available in the trade. The sentimental value the vase might represent to you can´t be measured.
