This is new, in my opinion.
The lid shape and its tight fitting are suspicious.
The glaze has too much gloss.
The bottom is overly rough and not resembling a Ming foot - a typical sign of age faking.

Ask yourself how could the bottom be so rough without usage after almost 500 years, while the glaze and rest look pristine, without any age or usage signs?  :)

Ah! Very  insightful Peterp!! I was not aware of that! :)
