I have been offered two items for 200 Euro.
Both are not perfect but display nicely.
Thoughts?

It looks like silver was applied to the rim, I wonder if it is stirling silver, however they are very nice, do you know what the marks on the bottom say?

That is a Neifu (???mark, the standard mark used on Bleu de Hue, also it was also used in China.
Not sure, but the rim could have been later added because the original was corroded. Brass or another copper based metal would have been frequently used.
Bleu de Hue has decorations and shapes may slightly differ from Chinese ones, although they are based on the same motifs.
