Looks new to me. Again, you should perhaps look at black glazing kilns in the vicinity of Jian and Jizhou kilns, if you get into this area of expertise. To my knowledge the foot shape, height andc lay color may differ. Careful, there are too many fakes for this type of item on the market. I recommend looking at black shipwreck wares before buying.

Please be aware that most items from this period and earlier are either excavated or from shipwrecks. Handed down items seem to be few, and should generally show usage traces. Those from kiln sites should have breaks or other faults that got them discarded.
