Your vase is 19th century Japanese moriage, a type of earthenware pottery produced at Satsuma Japan in great numbers for the export market. Many pieces like this made before 1891 have no markings at all. While not mass produced in the modern sense of the term it was made in great numbers, so it is not considered rare or valuable. At auction comparable examples often sell for under $100.00 these days.
