Looks like mark says Great Ming Xuan de reign made.
It is apocryphal. The Xuande reign was notable for, among other things, excellence of bronze work.
Such marks with flanking dragons very commonly found on many mixed-metal items made 20th century. Possibly 19th century items as well, but I have not seen anything that could be reliably dated to actually then.
Good luck,
Cal
