Hi my wife is chinese and has a few family items that she wants to bring to the uk, she is sure they are song dynesty and 95% certain they are genuine but as with everything you can never be sure, any ideas how I can tell for certain and is it worth bringing them?

The item picture is a measuring cup for rice though I can't confirm it's a genuine Song piece. All the examples I have seen sold through Sotheby's or Christies have rounded bottoms whereas yours has a footrim. See the example sold by James Lally below:
