from the little ol' web researcher - wow !

so here's your mark:

if you get the small version of the link, click the lower left - date:  1882

It's called a portrait vase and I am so unqualified to give an estimate - I did a small search and didn't find your vase - not surprising - but it's a start - it's the Lichte porcelain mfg - still in business - nice gift - KB
