Identifying Marks on a Vase

Hi all, Have a vase here, looks fairly contemporary judging by the condition however it's very well made - hand painted and fairly heavy. Would need some help identifying the red stamps (three in total) and translating the writing on the side! Can anyone figure out a date from the design?
Thanks in advance, the relevant photos can be found here:

Ryan,
Your photobucket library seems to be set to "private" that I cannot see the photos...

The orange red chop on the bottom (you have the photo upside down, by the way) saya: 乾隆年製 = made during years of Emperor Qianlong (or Chien-lung), in reign from 1735 to 1795, Qing Dynasty. However, a similar question was posted where I gave a similar answer. This one looks definitely too new to be from that era. http://www.japan-guide.com/forum/quereadisplay.html?0+104638

Thanks for the info my friend!
I might tend to agree with you about there being a high chance that it's a replica piece,however it is hand painted, so even for a replica it's taken a lot of time for it to be made! Bought it for £2!
All the best, thanks again,
