Hello, unfortunately, with these pictures it is impossible to see certain details, but I in view to the dragon and bottom I would think if it is really antique, it is more likely from the Qing dynasty than from the Ming, Wanli reign.
It is difficult to evaluate, however. A hands-on inspection of the glaze, bottom and interior would be necessary to make sure. Please be aware that a glaze inspection might also find that it is a 20th century fake. I would not buy it unless a hands-on inspection is done first by someone knowledgeable with this period. Actually, the base looks too smooth for that period, in my view.
