Could someone offer up a translation on the mark of this blue and white vase? I've posted photos of the vase and mark on my Flickr account.

Reading from right to left, the first 4 marks are Kangxi dynasty marks. The last two marks are 'Hall of' marks. However, the 5th & 6th mark are a mystery to me.

Any help is appreciated.
