My experience with anything to do with mainland China has been suspect
Assume it is a fake. Don't pay more than you would for a "replica".
Once you have the item, you can have it expertized by a trusted Canadian dealer and get appropriate certificates if you want them.
You will pay for expertization/appraisal, but both your insurance company and your heirs will appreciate the certs.
