Chinese New Year is around the corner. Wishing everyone a Happy Snake Year ahead!
Likely to be a 19th Century Qing dynasty Guangxu Porcelain Bowl. Wondering if anyone could share more in depth knowledge in this area of Chinese Ceramics.

Xin Nian Kuai Le!
Dragon is very nice, vow!
That Dragon is like my Vietnam belt buckle that is posted! We were Manchu's 5-toed Imperial Dragon! "Keep Up The Fire" We got our name from Boxer Rebellion 1900! If it is 19th century, it is still very special!! The writing looks shiny new, but Antiques Roadshow said if bottom rim is brown and not smooth, rough it may be older? just a thought!
I do have several concerns when conducting my own research. Any other opinions?
Is the foot deep enough? The angles look correct.
Kindly enlighten me on that further vetraio50! =) Foot deep enough meaning?
I was wondering whether the foot could be higher/ deeper?
After learning from some experienced guys over at Asian Art Forum and my own research, the above piece should be a modern replica. The mark does not look like it was handwritten. Bubbles seem too uniform and fine. Dragon style does not resemble typical designs of Guangxu. Surface and base too flawless.
Haven't been able to verify the bottom rim and material yet. Not sure of how to tell if the dirt/dust is artificial or natural. More questions appear while looking for answers. Tough.
The blue underglaze looks suspicious as well.
Whatever - still a beaut!! Thank you for your comment on my bowl.
I agree justanovice it is beautiful. Thanks again Dave.
