 chinese vase

Hello,
From these pictures it is difficult to tell much, except that it probably is second quarter of 20th century or later. The mark is a spurious Jiaqing mark. Jiaqing marks were usually not stamped but handwritten.
Closeup pictures with good resolution of the bottom, just inside the mouth at top, and partial pictures of the decoration would help to check age.
The square shape doesn't like look as if it was made earlier than stated above.
