I think the decorations could be 18th C and there is enough age signs for the period. What do you think?

The top (last) foto shows that the glaze of the edge was intentionally removed. This is not natural glaze peeling or abrading.
In addition, several of the colors seem to be later, 20th century, colors.

Thanks peter, I was about to buy it. It isn't the most common faked item you see, it almost convinced me.
