Help identifying whether or not Chinese porcelain urn is an antique?

Hi! I inherited a porcelain Chinese urn from a friend and would love to find out more about it, specifically if it is an antique? I am new to Chinese porcelain and any help anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I think this is contemporary, or made in the last two decades at the most. The bottom shows signs of age faking and there is a spurious Kangxi mark, completely different from how period items or marks were made, I'm afraid. The shape also is not any traditional Chinese porcelain shape.
