Base and foot rim are not right for any Ming or Qing antique, I think. It's the shape of the foot rim as well as the color of the whole base...
But, the blue color of the decoration also looks not like it should, if it were of the period. In addition to this, there are no natural age signs in the glaze or decoration visible; early Ming items would show some.
My personal view.

I would suggest to look at the items at earlyming.com to get an impression of how the glaze and blue color hues of antique Ming blue and white items look like. Not sure of this, but your item also gives the impression as if the surface had been 'treated' to reduce shine. Would need an inspection with a magnifier to verify this.
