I believe this to actually be a Chinese "ginger jar". These porcelain jars were used to store herbs. It was called a "guan" or jar. I don't know exact year, but it's possible that it's from the 40's since Shanghai was a commerce hub during that period of time. I don't know it's value, but I've seen very ornate collectible pieces sell from $40 to around $1,000 depending on rarity.
