Mark is poorly stamped meaning "Tongzhi reign made" for Tongzhi reign (1862-1874) of Qing dynasty.

Will leave it to others to express thoughts whether made during that reign. In any case indicates vase is not "ancient," but age at most "antique" (100 years old).

If base is as grimy as in photo, would be suspicious vase was new when you acquired it.

Good luck,
Cal
