This is from the Qing dynasty. It has been made over a long time.
Could you upload some closeups of the front decoration (partial), showing the variations of blue clearly, and also one of the whole back, to show the details more clearly...?

I cannot tell exactly when this was made. This design was made virtually throughout the Qing dynasty. I guess about mid-Qing. It depicts Lingzhi mushrooms.
The blue decoration, type of foot rim and this specific kind of mark mean it was made at Dehua kiln (Fujian province).
