Hi.  I have a number of Chinese paperweights - including some Chinese whites - that have slightly concave polished bases.  They are not highly polished, but I would consider them 'polished' rather than 'ground', although that is just semantics as it is really a matter of how fine an abrasive material was used.

The irregularity of the base basal ring still indicates the chinese direction (to me). An exact visual at a paperweight fair would work better.
