Not sure the age. Perhaps this blogger can help you determine the artist and when he/she produced.
Safi is the place in Morocco where it was made, not the maker.
It is very pretty On eBay they go from 5.99 up to 89.99 (sold prices, not asking).
Perhaps the blogger can help you with value also, although they may refer you back to eBay sold prices--which is the only way I value items when I resell.
If the blogger can't help value it, start high, like $250 or $300 and take best offer! Or, run it as a 7 day Sunday to Sunday auction and let the market dictate the final value.
Just be sure if you sell this lovely online that it is boxed carefully. This is a must do double box with at least 2 inches all the way around each boxing so nothing touches the sides. Use pool noodles or packing peanuts, and make sure they go in the vessel also.
It is critical to mailing success to pack well!!
This type vase is very common and it is being listed for sale under different descriptions and different ages/dates so probably everyone is more or less 'guessing' at age.
Since there are so many closely similar vases (lots in better condition than yours) I would say trying to sell for even $45 will be a challenge. From research, it appears these are very slow sellers.
Here is a very similar vase - same vase posted on 2 sites.

www.etsy.com/
I found several vases with the same signature as yours. The sellers do not indicate the manufacturer or the year of manufacture. I think it is very difficult to define this.
It is pretty. It doesnt look that old. It was probably made by a local artist.
I'm not sure how old but I do know it's been over 30 years since my uncle brought them back from africa .
