The mark translates to "Ya Wan Zhen Cang (Delicate Collectable Precious Treasure)"  This mark was used in the mid 20th Century. and is loosely designed  on antique cages...so around 1950..It does appear to be  missing its front door though or it was a made for decorative use only and not really to hold birds. .Its  a nice hard to find piece though and the larger size is a plus...I'd price it around $75-100.
