Subject:celadon cracked glaze mug?

Would appreciate very much any thoughts. Two of the characters look like the ink smeared?

Thank you.

The spotty Xuande Ming mark seems clearly to be applied by transfer, a clue that combines with the blurred characters to suggest strongly the mug is modern.

After looking at handled mugs jugs and cups in the Christie's archives, I also have the impression that this kind of handle might not have been used during the Ming Dynasty.

Best regards,

Bill H.
