Hi,

From the eyes I can't tell, I'm no xpert in Chinese porcelain.

But if you have those pieces on hand, look for little shells incrusted in the piece and, easier, the taste of it.
Must be very salty after staying under water for a few centuries.
For having a few pieces of those shipwrecks, I can confirm you that those 2 points mentioned above are present on mine.

Cheers

No expert and very new to this. Thought I read somewhere to always wash hands after handling porcelain that might be old? Something about metals contained in pigments? Just thought would pass it along for your consideration before tasting pigmented areas? Could be completely wrong.

In the last picture, there does appear to be a barnacle on the bottom of the left vase.

Cheers,
Stan
