Your table, more likely cast in a resinous material rather than carved from alabaster, is a European or other Western chinoiserie pastiche made for the decorative market, possibly in the 1920's or 30's. Below is a link to earlier forum discussion of a somewhat similar table.

I've never seen one come up for sale, so can't comment to value.

Best regards,

Thanks very much for the insite,
So does that mean the signature mark has no meaning?

The mark has no meaning in Chinese, Japanese or Korean as far as I know.
