It is very difficult to identify ancient porcelain items without hands-on inspection, as there are good fakes out there.
Can you provide closeup pictures of the glaze and bottom?
Closeup means something like this: tinyurl.com/l4bpdzq
Does the glaze on your item have worm traces, as the image (see link) on the website of the National Palace Museum in Taipei?
Worm traces are one of the most important things in identification of Jun wares. Unfortunately, the density of the clay (on the bottom) is also important, and that would require handling.

Thanks Peter. I am unable to see / access both links. Please re-post. Thanks. I will take closeup pics of the glaze and bottom and share soon.

Thanks much! Appreciate your advice. :)
