Dear Joey,
I don't think that the problems that I see belongs from a bad attempt to copy an original, but from a different working/material process than we usually see in Chinese ceramic.
The blue enamel clearly has a tendence to flaking, the borders of it clearly shows that. It is not matter of wearing. Where the blue has been lost, it seems to me that there is no transparent glaze below it. Georges, can you confirm that in those places there is no glaze? Can you feel or see the bare biscuit there? If so, then the piece is really strange.
Kind regards
Giovanni
