thank you for replying! I took close up pics I don't know how to add them here. It gets more amazing the more I take a closer look at it. I loved the art. I didn't even realize those are cats on the side.

I would recommend you upload a few detail pictures, really closeup, and also good pictures of bottom and foot rim. The mark is possibly an apocryphal 20th century mark, but in this case I could not tell from these small pictures whether it is late Qing/early republic, or later.
