Oriental Vase

I inherited the vase from my Aunt. She inherited from her best friend Eddy. The only thing I know about the vase is that Eddy came back from the Orient with it. She told how she flew all the way home with it secured in her lap.  Aunt Othelle had once said she had the vase insured for $25,000.  Where she got the value of the vase, I don’t know. I wasn’t able to find any paper work or policy on the vase. 

The vase has a hairline crack in it and is and slightly noticeable from the outside. It was this way when I received but I don’t know how it came about or if it was that way when Ms. Eddy bought it.

Any information would be great appreciated.

Thank you for your time,
