Late 20th century at the most, I would think. The mark is spurious.

Thank you Peter,

Why do you say the mark is spurious?

To prevent that you might think it is antique, due to the mark indicating 19th century. The decoration says otherwise. Unfortunately, many people do not get that marks are mostly irrelevant for dating Chinese porcelain.
