Question Zisha pot

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a Zisha pot through ebay and I was wondering if anyone could take a look at these pics and give me some insight into what the signature at the bottom says and how old the pot may be, etc. The seller said it dates back to the Qing Dynasty and that the symbols express happiness and prosperity. It all kind of came off like a fortune cookie message so I want to be sure I spent my money wisely. Either way, it is a stunning pot, but curiousity is getting the best of me!

Happiness is a tiny tree...

Sabrina
