The kaishu-script characters within the square double outline should be viewed as decoration, reading Qianlong reign made. The Qianlong emperor ruled in China 1736-1795. Do internet search to view images of genuine marks for that period. This reign's marks are about the most popular to put on porcelains in the past 130 years or so.
A reign mark is one of the last things to take seriously as indicating that a piece is imperial mark-and-period. Anyone can put such a mark on an object.
The decoration means loosely "hundred boys," auspicious for having boy children.
However, the totally-blue outlines, clothing, facial features and not-quite-right hair styles signal that this double-vase was made quite recently, probably for a wedding present. The little mistakes in the decoration might indicate this was a "factory second." The decoration may not have been in China.
I will leave it to wiser heads to suggest where this was decorated.
