Further to my comments, here is a comparison of your pot's mark (left) with one attributed to the Qianlong period (right) by a respected Chinese website that records this mark as having been used from the mid-Qing through Republic era. In my opinion, the calligraphy in your mark has more in common with the general late Qing and Republic style of writing kaishu than the more scholarly character forms of the other mark, though I would invite comment of Chinese contributors on this point.
Best regards,
