I have just won this vase at an online auction.
For the moment I have the pictures posted by seller.
It is 23 cm tall, and looks me old.
The bottom mark is similar to those used in Republic period.
I need help for dating, I can only say early Republic, may be.

Thank you.

Yes Adriano, but I cannot tell for sure either. When you get the vase, please upload a picture showing the last column of writing on the left side. There appears to be a name, but due to the angle I'm not sure what the second character is. The same character is covered by the wax seal on the bottom.
The "ears" (side decorations of the neck) have a shape typical for the early republic, the gilt type is of that period too, as are the ladies.

Thank you Peter,
I will post better pictures when available.

Hi Peter, I have better pictures.
Thank you for your evaluation.

Thanks Adriano. The name is clear: Wang Lisheng 王利生
He was a republic porcelain painter, but details are difficult to come by, except that he was in Jiangxi, the location where Jingdezhen is located. The term 出品 means "product of", this usage seems to point to either a workshop or a factory.
Here are some other of his works.
