Message Debra: Judy thinks it is modern and from Cizhou and she may be correct. If not, your description says "carved". Such vases sold out of Hong Kong area before WWII and were sometimes referred to as "Hong Kong ivory", a composite material made from marble powder or the like. Today there are many things sold as wood carvings which are really wood resin copies from a mold that look like the original. In a similar manner, vases similar to yours could be multi-copied with this hard plaster type material. I have one in my home that is very large and intricate from the 30s. However, if yours is a hand carved from a kind of stone (not man-made), then I have no idea where it was made in China.As was said, the photos are not clear enough to tell much more.
