Ginger Jar

I purchased this Ginger Jar at an estate sale.  It is believed the owner resided in japan/china at some point. She recently passed away at the age of 82, her husband pre-deceased.  They had a large collection of Asian artifacts from furniture to figurines.  I have searched endlessly with no luck to find something remotely close in style. It is difficult as I am not able to identify the flowers or birds.  Any help identifying and evaluating this piece would be appreciated. Sincerely,Giselle
