I doubt that it is Qianlong because I don't see the proper age signs. Plus the glazed neck and the dirt on the foot rim.
Do you think it is still antique or more recent?

I guess I am wrong about the neck. Appears that during Qianlong the big jars do have glazed necks. Not sure if the featured one should come with a lid or not.
Something is wrong about the mark. Looks kind of stiff and not freely painted. Probably the characters are not quite right either.

I would say more recent, the shoes would be almost pointed at the toes on antiques, notice how round they are at the toes and the shape is a little unusual as well.

I only can emphasize what I say always, look at the eyes. They tell us that this could not be anything else than 20th century.
The neck decoration looks Japanese, and there is a Qianlong mark. This can only lead to one conclusion...recent fake.

Thanks for the replies.
Stan, never knew about the shoes clue.
Peter, I must have missed your previous comments on the eyes. What do we look there?

Western style eyes means post-Qing dynasty. Study the eyes and you will find that from the late Ming dynasty to republic era differ.
