chinese red mark

by Simonne
(Belgium)

Hello,

could anyone help me to identify this mark, please? I am going to buy this rose family vase, the vendor allowed me to take only this photo and the price is quite high.
Could be a real Tongzi, or an apocryphal mark?
Thank you in advance for any suggestion.

Thank you Peter, I have myself had doubts regarding the autenticity of the vase, I have not seen yet a hexagonal vase with this type of red mark.

I appreciate very much all your efforts.
Regards,
Simonne

Marks in red on an unglazed bottom are always spurious, and the items having them are usually modern fakes. Even if this is a Tongzhi mark, there are no Tongzhi marks written in this manner and with such characters on antique items.
I wouldn't buy.
