The porcelain on your vase looks like a very dense and high quality porcelain, I would think that your vase would be early republic, nice vase, try shinning a light into it in a dark room, the light should glow through and you would also see that it is a turned vase.

The mark is apocryphal, and your vase is an almost egg shell thin, the earlier porcelain was thicker and on your vase it looks like the top where the line is was done in two sections, if that is so you would be able to feel the seem inside with your finger, I believe the ones from the 18th century were done in one piece and yours is two pieces, I could be wrong, lets see what Peter says about it.

Hi Natalina, also on your vase there are no age signs, on the 18th century porcelain you would see rust spots, or pin hole spots in the glaze or kiln cracks, yours has none of the above so I can only say late Qing at the most, but I believe early republic. Stan.
