      in chinese you got different kinds of scripts , you got the archaic seal script - AKa Zuanshu and you got the Kaishu script

      this is Kaishu script and it reads da qing tongzhi nian zi = = tongzhi period maded ( 1862-1874, but is da qing tongzhi nian zhi revival so made after 1960

      it is an complete fantasy vase the used the buddhist symbole twin fish , which means happy marriage , conjugal felicity etc

      the vase , fi means perpetual harmony

      the purple color is also strange, probably the maker was addicted to candy canes , and is now in rehab
