If you want to seek a second opinion, I recommend asianart_com or gotheborg_com. The latter has a collection of marks including newer ones and probably is the number one website for Chinese porcelain in the English speaking world.

Hi Michael,

Yes, it exactly the type of mark I thought.
It says "Qianlong Nianzhi" (made during the Qianlong years), but it is a late 20th century faux mark.
Marks of the Qianlong use a completey different type of character. This mark looks like a modern handwritten seal stamp. Such marks are frequently applied to new ceramics, probably for decorative purposes only.
