This is the second item. Even more doubtful on this. Please your opinion!
Thank you very much.

It seems to be a fake. The bottom does not look for the Yuan dynasty, and Yuan B/W meiping vases usually had lids, with the mouth/neck having for this purpose a conical shape. (Correction: this mouth shape did also exist at the time.)
The foot rim shape is odd, in my view, as is the consistency/look of the unglazed base.
I doubt that you would find something like this in the open market. Most big Yuan B/W items are in the Topkapi in Istanbul and in Iran, where they were exported to in the Yuan dynasty.

Hi Pablo,
If you are interested in Yuan blue & white items I would recommend to first buy a small item. There were lots of small jarlets exported to SE Asia, especially to today's Indonesia, during that period. I have never  had the opportunity to handle anything larger than a bowl. Even those are quite rare here.
