The mark reads "Jin Tang Fa Ji" or Splendid Hall of Growing Prosperity. It is not a Kangxi mark but more commonly found on good quality blue and white table wares exported to SE Asia especially Thailand. It is not imperial but good quality export market pieces. I would date around mid 19th century is where it seems most of these pieces date to. More common are lidded teacups and bowls. Often they would have a copper or bronze applied to their rim edges in Thailand.
