Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but your jar is a modern item. It's not a fake as it was never meant to deceive. It's just a modern decorative jar widely available in many Chinese gift shops in Chinatown or a slew of other import art shops. In the lin k you provided the only two items that were Qing are the large bowl and the mug. Those two date the the 18th century and are in the "Mandarin" palatte. The rest are modern. If someone sold you the jar as antique, you should have a little chat with them.
