It's the well-known Xuan De bronze ware (most are censers), initially made in Ming dynasty of China, but have been imitated in Qing dynasty and later (until now) in both China and Japan. I'm not an expert for bronze ware, and couldn't tell this whether your vase is very old or newly made, and whether it's made in China or Japan.
