To clarify things a bit more, Longquan wares are not of this tone of green. Crackles can be natural and artificial.
But the most important is that Longquan bottoms do not look this way. Lonquan bottoms are partially glazed and the unglazed part is never that rough.
additional info in jar

Hi again Mr. Peter thank you for consultation about the jar. I see so it is a fake one

by the way additional info inside the jar, i has a candle wax i think the previous owner use it as a aroma candle inside, that why you can see some glue like inside the jar, but it is a melted wax

on the outside the green colored area you can see a glassy crackle like effect.

Thank you

This was intended to be a Longquan jar with lotus leaf lid.
I'm afraid this is a fake, however. The bottom is far from a genuine Longquan bottom, and the green color isn't right either.
