Can't tell you how old but would of sat on a roof " tiles once served as guardians"

This is not sancai. Apparently made for the ridge of a roof. Probably not very old, perhaps a few decades?

bucanero

thanks for your answers, but I've seen that could be ming seventeenth century porcelain has micro cracks that lead me to think that may be so old

Many porcelain glazes develop crackling during firing. They are often not visible, however, because they are the same color as the glaze. Only later, when artificially or naturally sediments (dirt) enters the crazing do they become visible. Crackling is not an absolute age sign.
