The shape is off a bit from traditional one. The bottom has been treated somehow, apparently to make it look old. Most likely a modern fake.

Thanks.
How about the colors and the enamels, are they right for the period they claim to be?
Not sure if we should call it fake, at least they did not put a reign mark.
By the way, there is a seam running across the belly, like it?s being made of two separate parts joined together but I guess that does not change the fact that it?s modern.

The bottom is completely wrong for any period, and there is no mark. How should we know what period it pretends to be? I would recommend to the average collector to stay away from doucai wares. They are rare (the real ones) and need an advanced level of research to identify them.
