I was wondering how much would this vase be worth. I got it from someone in the 70s and she bought it a while before that. What is the value and the year?

This vase has a Moriage Bird Decoration.
The term "moriage" refers to raised slip decorations applied to a piece of porcelain or pottery.
"Moriage is a common name on slip or colored clay string decoration, mostly on Japanese porcelain, in look not unlike 'cake frosting' in which a diluted clay has been used to give the piece a three dimensional appearance. A painstaking technique involved building up areas of enamel to produce a three-dimensional effect."

Unfortunately, you didn't add a photo of the back of the vase, which usually has a maker's mark. I think you have a Japanese vase.

Are there any marks on the bottom of the vase? You may need to have your vase appraised by an antique's dealer to find the current value of it. You might also search on ebay to see if there's a vase like yours or set up an alert in case one should turn up:
You would have to look at the bottom for identifying marks. To me it looks Asian. You could also take it to a dealer specializing in Asian pottery.
Perhaps this is a Japanese vase. Is there a stamp on the back and which one? I don't think it's worth much.
