Hello,
With only a mark it is impossible to judge age.
The mark is a factory mark: Xushunchang zao (Made by Xushunchang).
They have been active in the first half of the 20th century, but I do not know starting from when. They did also make Nyonya wares for the Straits Chinese (Singapore, Malaysia).
