Of course your vase is not that old.

Dear Mr. Nagy,
thank you so much. And may I ask you about this mark, too. I don't know anybody else to ask and you are always so helpful. Best wishes

This mark, which also is translatable in Chinese as "Mark of the Wang Dongwang Congregational Hall" (王東旺聚堂記 - Wang dong wang ju tang ji), is still in use. Here's a lot from a 29 September 2020 Chinese auction, on an identically marked "doucai" (contending colors) vase.

Best regards,

Bill H.

Thank you very much for the information. Did I get you right, Bill, that it is more likely to find the mark on modern pieces? And is there a description in the chinese auction with some more information? Best, Peter

There was nothing concerning a date a date for the vase in the information given. Looks like a modern piece to me, based on the less than transparent colored enamels. Here are images of a small pair of early 18th century doucai cups, previously in my collection with apocryphal Ming Chenghua period marks and a more typical early Qing doucai palette.

Best regards,

Bill H.
