Your vase / bottle bears decoration inspired by carp-and-waterweeds wucai decoration found on wine jars in a few collections, which have middle-Ming marks.

The mark on your piece is apocryphal. I have not seen a genuine example of this sort of decoration on a bottle of this shape. The decoration quality on yours does not compare favorably with the liveliness in genuine articles. The dirt and added color on the foot that you show should be a warning that someone wanted to make the piece look old to a novice.

Your piece has value equivalent to any modern decorative piece of similar size and shape.

Good luck,
Cal
