Could someone please help me identify this marking ?

It is a spurious Yongzheng reign mark of the sort that appears on modern fakes. 
This is nothing antique, but if you upload images of the item, we might be able to tell more.

Thank you for your feedback. I figured they were knock offs, but then again I paid hardly anything for them. Would like to narrow down their age if possible though. Here is another picture of the pair, both have same stamp.

The pictures are too small to tell more about the decoration, but basically the shapes, especially of the lids are not shapes that did ever exist in antique Chinese porcelain. The body shape itself would be more likely encountered in vintage tin containers.
Looks like tea caddies made sometime in the late 20th century at the best, I'm afraid.
