Hi, does anybody have any information on the stamp mark? I've searched the Internet and cannot find any info on the make/style/age of my pot. Thank you in advance for any information.

Pretty colors! Unfortunately there is not enough of a picture or not enough pictures to really see the piece and determine if it older or newer. Crazing (what you see on the bottom) can be machine made to make a piece LOOK old but it was made yesterday, so it would help to see the edges of the piece--and all of the sides of the piece and lid.
That said, to figure out the mark, I belong to a Facebook group called Chinese Porcelain - Identification and Valuation. You can ask to join (follow all their rules) and either post the mark or look at all of the media already on there and find match.
This is one site where they will help you value the piece.
Post back what you learn! It has great colors!
If no one here knows, take it to a dealer who specializes in pottery.
If I ever need information on an item I always go to eBay. Put in a description of the piece and describe any markings you can find and possibly any numbers .
You would have to do a lot of searching to find this mark.
Probably the quickest way to find information is to take your pot to a local oriental shop/store/restaurant and ask for help.
You may have to go to several places but someone will be able to tell you the type of writing as well as something about the pot.
Try several places as each one will provide a little information so you can put it all together and this should be all you need.
Take the pot as pictures may not be good enough and people usually like to handle the item when providing information.
