I imagine the Michael Jackson record is worth something....considering it was before he turned himself into an albino looking alien. Few extra bucks for the afro too I bet.

It says... ( 
lol, sorry I couldn't resist) I am a modern made "double joy" Ginger jar. Historically, these were often given as a wedding gift. The marks on the bottom look like they were done with little or no care and are unreadable as to if they are even true Chinese characters. The characters depicted on the lid and side of the jar are known as "shuang (double) xi" (joy/bliss/happiness) which is the recognized symbol of "wedded bliss".
Here is a similar one with a "double ring" mark- Chinese <i>Double Happiness</i> Ginger Jar - Cowan's Auctions
However similar ones on Ebay are listed and not selling for less than this one sold for.
The Off The Wall album would have fetched a pretty penny right after Michaels' death,now it will get you $5-$10 tops, if your lucky.
