Old or new? Empty Old or new?

I’ve had this a couple of years, bought at a flea market. No sign of a mark, stands 7.5” tall.

Just over a year ago I saw a virtually identical vase in a café window in Easingwold (just down the road from Coxwold) near York. Unfortunately the café was closed so I could not examine the pot. It did have a clear plastic sticker on the side which said ‘Park Lane’ or ‘Country Lane’ or ‘xxx Lane.’ I Googled this at the time and it appeared to be a homewares company, so I imagine they just bought in designs for a season or two.

The wear on the base of mine does appear to suggest it’s not brand new. I wondered if the homewares company could have “taken inspiration” from an older pot.

Any thoughts?

Looks like provincial French pottery. Probably fairly recent, as there doesn't appear to be too much wear on something that was made to be used and abused on farms, taverns, etc.
