Hello to everybody,
I recently both this at antique mall and wonder how old is it and who is the manufacture. Thank you in advance. DSC_1660.webpDSC_1663.webpDSC_1665.webpDSC_1666.webp
 

Welcome to Tnet.

That's an attractive thing, but unfortunately neither old nor valuable, although it probably wouldn't have been a dirt-cheap thing at its original price if it's large (you didn't give us a size). It’s a ‘compressed bottle-form’ vase in what is known as ‘ox-blood flambé’ glaze. It has a Jingdezhen Zhi mark from the mid to late 20th Century and that particular mark is reported as being circa 1970.

PS: Forgot to say... it's Chinese, not Japanese. Jingdezhen is a city in China, in and around which there are numerous porcelain factories and the region is China's major producer of such items. These marks don't provide any indication of which of the many factories a particular piece may have come from.

It's a nice looking piece.
Just adding to Red-Coat's above information.

The box has the following on it:

中国名瓷 zhongguo ming ci which means China's famous porcelain.

景德镇珍品 jingdezhen zhenpin which means Jingdezhen's treasure.
 

Probably came from one of the tourist trap stores that Chinese sightseeing tour
busses stop at as a rest stop on the way to some attraction. They tend to sell
decent merchandise to wài guó rén (foreigners) at 5x the going rate...
 

Thank you everybody for the information. Vase is about 10' high. I bought it in antique mall for $12 so I think it worth this money :)
