Your vase is vaguely influenced by style of decoration called 'Rose Canton' in the West, but not direct imitation.

Mark is apocryphal one for Qianlong reign of Qing Dynasty (1736-1795). It is transfer-printed, not hand drawn. And it reads left to right instead of right-left, so definitely made last half 20th century and probably within past 20 years. Mark was not meant to deceive, just meant to indicate quality, like "new-improved" on soap box.

Good luck,
Cal
