Hello, you need to post larger images especially a couple of pictures of the bottom or foot rim.

Early 20th C. probably (republic of china). Like heavenguy said a photo of the bottom of the vase may help

Pictures of the black writing are essential, especially the part on the left side. Sometimes it contains a cyclical date.

Many thanks peterp for this information!
I'm not sure to understand the cyclical date... 1998 ?

Me again, where do you see the signature on the picture?

The name is contained in the writing. You need to be able to read Chinese to see it.

Sorry, that was a typo, should have been 1898.
The date is also within the text.
