Not sure what you mean with the bottom, because it is not glazed? or is it the foot rim?
Late Ming items often have this Yuhuan 玉環 bottom.

There is a Yubi and a Yuhuan, Yubi bottom resembles in shape the Jade Bi (a Jade disc with a hole in the center) of very ancient times, while the Yuhuan would be a Jade ring (the type ladies wear on their wrists) although those are round, of course.
