Subject:Need help translating an inscription from a vase

Greetings,

Could someone help with translating the following inscription from the bottom of a vase? I would be very grateful.

Thanks,

The bottom marking reads,
郊壇下　Jiaotanxia
The second character 土云　is the abbreviated form
of 壇　introduced in the middle 1950s.
Jiaotanxia used to be one of the five famous kilns of
Song Dynasty.
I think your vase is a present day imitatiom, at least not being older than 60 ears old.

With regards,
I.Nagy
