Blue & White Marked Brush Box

The mark looks a bit like Qianlong Period but want to double check. The bottom shows wear and rust. Any idea what circa is the piece?
thanks

Yes, it appears printed. The lines of hand painted and printed decorations look different. Often the latter have intermittent breaks which brush strokes would not have.

I have no idea how to tell if it s print or not. It is under the glaze so I keep looking at it but don't know what are the signs.
Have more pics here:

No, not that old. The pictures don't show the decoration close enough, but it could even be printed; at least many of this type are... the mark gives also that impression.

Thanks Peter. I thought it is at least early 1900's? Its too much rust on the bottom, is it possible to get there for only few decades?

The hue of the blue color and whiteness of the glaze mean it is 20th century. The mark is a spurious Qianlong mark, for decoration only.
This cannot be older than two or three decades, rather less.

Can you re-upload pictures or post a link to them?
For some reason the server does not display them.
Server support is looking into the problem.
