Any help translating the 4-character mark on the bottom of this small scholar's table vase would be appreciated. It is only about 4" inches in height. I am not sure if the glaze is peach bloom or not, any ideas? There are some small patches of light green that blends into the light red color and there is significant tiny crackling in the glaze upon a close look.

I am always suspicious of objects in expensive silk lined boxes.
