Chinese Porcelain Circular Mark ~ Possibly Rose Famille Trying to ID

by Sally

Scene of children playing painted on the perimeter of the vase.

Other side of the vase.

Hand painted porcelain mark on bottom of vase.

Hello:
This 4 inch high Chinese porcelain vase has the scene of Chinese children playing ~ or a festival with children ~ hand painted around its perimeter. There is a marking on the bottom of the vase that is also hand painted. The Chinese characters are surrounded my a circular mark. I've not been able to identify this piece and can't find a marking that is similar to this.

Is anyone familiar with this marking or do you know what type of porcelain this is ~ and from what time period it may be from?

Thank you!

Sally
