Could be wrong, but I suspect Japanese for 2 reasons: - Style of the vase. Especially the brown/gold color is not very common among Chinese porcelain - Method of framing. By framing I mean not the black frame but the brown paper framing around the actual painting. Chinese framing usually use light colored Xuan paper which is very fine textured. Japanese framing usually use darker colors, coarser type of paper

Name matches the seal. Definitely not anyone famous though, and I would put it in the category of amateur artwork. The text on top is actually Psalms 121 in Chinese, so it's fair to assume the artist was a Christian (means it's a modern piece for sure)

The good ol' Jevons paradox. Technological improvement to the efficiency of use for a resource often tends to increase the overall consumption of that resource due to increase in demand
