Apocryphal QianLong mark

Your vase has an apocryphal reign mark reading down and across from the right in two stacks as 'Made during the Qianlong Reign' (Qianlong Nian Zhi - 乾隆年製). The actual reign was 1736-95, but such four character blue marks in standard script typically date no earlier than the late Qing Guangxu Period (1875-1908), according to a rule of thumb in Anthony J. Allen's most recent book, 'Allen's Antique Chinese Porcelain -- The Detection of Fakes'. I'd think yours may date toward the mid-Republic era, or about 1930 or later, as its base-mark's calligraphy is a bit less steady compared to what is seen on the similar example recently on eBay (Link Below and pasted separately in case of trouble). Please ignore its attribution to the Kangxi Period
