The red wax seal is an export seal by the Chinese government to indicate that the item is of no cultural interest or value and thus allowed to be exported. It's found an many antiques from the 19th century that was exported overseas. The vase most likely dates to the second half of the 19th century. Can't know what the mark is though.
