White Embossed Vase - Blanc de Chine?

[Aun]

Hello again!

Have a white vase embossed with "ruyi" and what looks to be leaves around the vase. There is crackling present in the glaze up close. I'm not sure if this can be correctly categorised as blanc de chine. I am at a loss determining the date although it does seem to have some age to it.

Appreciate your input once again. Thanks.

If this is Chinese, then it is odd. First, the crackling can be artificially induced in the kiln, so this is not necessarily proof of age.
The shape does not look like any traditional Chinese shape I know. That looks like an ivy leaf in one of the pictures...never saw that on Chinese porcelain.
The bottom is artificially made to look dark, a common practice to simulate old age. I think it either is not Chinese (despite the ruyi), or more recent.
