Yes. Notice darker blue is added dark-blue glaze not flamb� (heat/oxidation transformation of copper-bearing glaze) result? Clear tip-off be silly red wash or glaze added to base, never had by authentic piece.

Also not advisable buy ceramics ebay sellers in China. So much imitation made cheap there. Since this piece has visible glaze flaws, seller would have got it extra cheap.

Good luck,
Cal
