Two ways to look at Korean decorated greenwares:
a) Very old ones have white/dark designs inlaid, not painted on - there were also imitations made in 18th-19th century of much older wares. Look at by magnifying glass.
b) Only the most modern imitations would have Chinese-style decoration (the scrolling, the lotus-petals around shoulder).

Do internet search for "Ataka Collection" to find genuine old examples to compare.

This is a Korean style decoration, not Chinese.
Cannot tell you whether it is old, but looks much like the new ones I have seen there.
