Are these leaves tobacco leaves? Should I take the base to see if there is markings on the jar?

We would need to see any markings on the bottom or on the underside of the lid to give you a better idea of the value. It doesn't look like an antique ginger jar that would be worth a lot of money to me at first glance. It looks more modern to me, like home decor from an upscale store.
You say that you need to remove the base. It's hard to tell from the photo but it looks like it is a carved wooden base? If it is glued on, that is another clue that it is probably mass manufactured home decor as working jars would need to be removed periodically to be cleaned.
The best way to identify it is to look at the bottom for markings. If they aren't any, it will be very hard, if not impossible, to identify
