Dear Steve,
Looking at the shape (as far as I can see) I think your vase is Chinese. About Famille Noir: "Real" Famille Noir is from Kangxi periode and is made with 2 layers on unglazed paste (enemals on biscuit) A green layer is painted above a dark cobalt layer. You often can find traces of this future. Later in 19th. century, during the Kangxi revival periode, they made real nice examples as well. I don't think your vase is painted with those two layers and also don't think they painted it on biscuit. Also the hole seems to be drilled before glazing, wich means that it was meant to be made for a lamp-base. All this and the colors makes me think your vase is later 20th century. Also I don't think that the cracking of the glaze is "typical" for Chinese nor Japanese porcelain.
best regards,
Arjan
