I would like to know if it's genuine or not.

No it is not Ming. It's not even Chinese. Some sort of European tin glazed pottery dish, maybe Delft.

Doubt as old as Delft. Delft clays very red under glaze and underglaze blue not usually this intense and pure. Could be French mid-20th century.

Or later. There seems to be a modern pottery producing tiles and other items in Delft-like designs. I do not know where.

Good luck,

I tend to agree with te gist of the messages. However, "Delft" is a generic term that covers tin glazed earthenware produced in Holland from the 17th c. It is still produced in quantity, and still commonly with Chinese designs. But both the clay base, glaze and motifs were produced in England ("English Delft"), Italy ("majollica"), and France ("fayence") and continue in production.

Please forgive my spelling - I can't find my glasses

I can't answer your question, but this looks like something made for trade with the Dutch to me.

I seriously doubt its Chinese by the look. Whilst not as old as Ming Chinese it could be somewhere circa first half 19thC when the west was copying popular Chinese export wares by reproducing designs.
