Hi Peter, I just picked this up at an antique store. I believe that it is early republic, I think that the Chinese started writing China on their export porcelain in the 1900, I did not pay much for it but it looks nice, how old would you say that it is, thanks.

The foot rim shows some age, but it is difficult to tell how old it is. The unglazed part of the neck looks a bit too fine.
There is a Yongzheng mark, apocryphal as CHINA is used under the glaze. It is written in the same style as Kangxi and Qianlong marks were written on export porcelain. CHINA was used from about 1886 to the early 1920s. This was a requirement for exports to the US. It changed later to Made in China.

Thank you Peter, I did not realize that they started marking "China" on there porcelain for export to the US that early, that is good to know.
