This is a temple jar. Looks like a low quality fake not made in China. The painter did not know Chinese painting styles.  I bet the mark, if visible, would also show that whoever did it tried to imitate Chinese characters without knowing any Chinese.  Possibly made in SE Asia or elsewhere.

Hello Peter,

Thanks for your reply. Attached an extra photo of the mark. What do you think of the age??

Greetings Jan

As I thought, the mark is crap. Age? This is not authentic, so no telling any age. It can be fake too...
