It says it is a copy of a Corinthian vase.  I did a quick google search.  I didn't find an exact match but the lions are of similar style

It looks like a high end tourist item.  It appears to be hand painted.

Not what you would find in a typical tourist shop in Greece today, more like in a museum replicas store.  But is the type of thing found in tourist shops decades ago.

Thank you very much. I updated post with better photos. I bought it on antique market. I can see that there are scuffs on the vase, as if it were the original. But I did not find same original vase.

I want to say that the style of vase is a lekthyos.  You should be able to look up the style and what it was used for.
