Hi Peter, May i have your opinon on that ceramic please? is it genuinly old or a latter copy?
Thank you.

Not sure. It is not Song, at least not from a mainstream kiln, otherwise the bottom would be glazed and not so rough. That is about all I can confirm. The mouth and overall shape are not very common either, and the impurities in the glaze.... is the interior glazed? Does the bottom have a nipple or is it completely flat? With these pictures it is impossible to tell what it is. Always keep in mind that it could be from SE Asia too.
My advice would be when in doubt, then do not buy. This is not a high-value collectible anyway, even if it is Chinese.
Thank you very much for your advice, I will follow it.
Merry mid autunm festival!
Thank you.
