I can't help identifying it, but the cracks in the glaze is called crazing.
 

There are a few VERY tiny spots round the rim that seem metallic, and the clay rim is a bit rough to the touch.
There is a very thin blackened line where the glaze ends near the clay rim.
 

I am not an expert but from the description of the rim roughness and spotting my guess on age would be 50 to 75 years old. Twenty years ago my neighbors father who worked in The National Museum in Beijing visited her and I had him go through some of my ceramics. He taught me the things to look for in dating ceramic objects. Some of the items were older than I thought while others much younger. I have a tea bowl with a mark of a Ming Prince and dating it to one of the last Ming princes (The RebelPrinces) in the early 17th century. His evaluation was that it was a honorific piece made during the Republic period prior to the Communist revolution.
 

Piledriver, I have a similar piece that I picked up awhile back and know nothing about. It looks like it could be from the same maker. Mine has a name or makers mark on the underside that I have no idea what it says. Any info would be awesome!! Dec2814 1165.JPGDec2814 1160.JPGDec2814 1164.JPG
