Xuande small jar

Hi there.  Please identify this for me. Authentic , age and value?  Thanks in advance!

I cannot say I am a specialist on early Ming wares, but the dragon as well as the decoration bands at the top and bottom seem to be imitating Yuan decorations. However, the dragon is not good enough for Yuan.
The bottom also looks unnatural. Personally I think this is a recent fake.

Thanks Peter.  I do think it is fake because the dragon flaws is not five and the drawing sign on the top is written not in the right strokes.  At least with your opinion, I confirm there is not value in this jar.  I do have many items my father bought, I thought some are real... I will post more pictures.  Thanks again.
