Vase with more than 170 Years

The vase has been on my family since 1841 when was bought in China (hong kong). I have talked with a Chinese friend who is a bit intended with china art. He told that the glaze and porcelain were yonghzheng but the gold was not right, he told me that the gold probably could have been added must latter and therefore the vase was very valuable. Peter could you give me too your opinion? It has an espiral in the inside of the vase. the most aging marks and inside too. The mark looks odd thought to me. The rim is thin and the porcelain presents smooth on base. The vase is pretty heavy. More info?
