    In my opinion, it's a recent piece. I would not bother with the marks.

    I think the mark on the base is a Hongxian mark - last one on the gotheborg Qing marks page:

    I think a few of the vertical strokes on yours are gone...worn off or didn't take when it was fired. No idea if it's a real or fake mark but I think that's it.

    Forgot to add - IF it's a legit mark - that would date it to 1915-1916 - tail end of the Qing dynasty, not Ming. Here's another example of the mark:

    Actually, I'm not sure if any of the Hongxian marks are legit. A lot of them are more like tribute marks and the pieces made a decade or two later. But in this case, clearly a very recent mark. It looks printed but not hand painted.

    Are you for real? are you really saying that I don't know what's hand painted or printed?

    I'm very for real but I'm not saying you don't know printed from hand painted. I said "it looks" , as far as I can tell by the pictures.
    By printed I mean transfered like stamp or other technique used.
    But it really does not matter. Calligraphy is an art and if the mark and the other characters on the body were drawn by an artist, the execution would be of a better quality.

    OMG...... Funny.
    The Hall mark of this vase consists of Xuande Hall mark (1425-1435), Chenghua Hall mark(1464-1487), Zhengde Hall mark(1505-1521) on its side and Hongxian Hall mark(1916-1949) on the bottom. (Hongxian Hall mark is a very rare Hall mark.)
    Thus, this vase is obiverously a reproduction.
