There’s an orange/brown color used on the man with the stick. It seems unusual to me. But this is not my field, I have only some Ming blue and white.
@imperialfinegems thanks Mark, I don't think it's modern. Here's a modern version, there's quite a difference. This is surely modern because the seller has 2 for sale .
Here's a challenge for you - Find me a genuine Wanli wucai piece with that squiggly green cloud/fire design with black lines, or the square mark that almost touches the foot rim.
That mark is Jiajing, as well as not being a square mark.
More importantly, how can you dismiss the Ebay modern piece as evidence of your bowl being of later production when the Ebay piece has as much (or as little) in common with your bowl as the Jiajing bowl from the British Museum has with your bowl, which you cite as evidence of marks that nearly touch the foot rim?
What’s the saying? Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
Just to clarify - I never said your bowl was modern. In fact, I said your bowl looked quite old, as well as being well rendered.
I simply think your bowl is a Japanese copy.
You seem to be putting a good effort into proving it is Chinese by finding ‘similar’ Chinese pieces.
Try putting the same effort into finding comparable Japanese pieces, too.
Look at the right rendering of the mark on this Japanese vase attributed to the early 20th c. The characters are tightly rendered…. Close to how your bowl’s mark looks, right?
@greeno107 thanks again Tim, I'm working on your challenge. Obviously I would prefer the piece to be Chinese, so I'm biased. Â
There's another possibility, that it is Chinese for the Japanese market, like this one. I don't agree that the eBay one has an little in common as mine to the ming examples thou. The enamels are clearly off. It looks modern, add you say mine looks old. Anyway here the link to a Chinese for Japanese market. It has the orange colour Brigit referred to..
There's another possibility, that it is Chinese for the Japanese market
I’m not aware of Chinese putting period reign marks on on export wares.
The dragon design of your bowl is a Chinese design, while the dish you cite appears to me to have Japanese swallows (chidori) drawn on them.
My very limited understanding of Chinese porcelains for the Japanese market is that pieces should be made with Japanese designs on Chinese porcelain, and not Chinese designs rendered in a Japanese manner… but I might have my thoughts crossed on this.
I have a problem with the mark appearing to look so large in proportion to the foot rim. The characters are awfully tightly written...kind of a Japanese thing going on with the writing.
The ‘tightness’ referred to only the rendering (the strokes) of the characters. The Japanese draw the Kanji slightly different than the Chinese in some cases, and the strokes come off looking shorter or narrower.
The Jiajing mark you cite has thick lines, but is not tightly written in my view.
The closeness of the square to the foot rim and the amount if space between the square and the six character mark is what I mean by proportions of the mark not being right for a genuine mark.

The art of calligraphy - and for the ancient Chinese it certainly was an art - aimed to demonstrate superior control and skill using brush and ink. Calligraphy established itself as one of the major Chinese art forms during the Han dynasty (206 BCE - 220 CE), and for two millennia after, all educated men were expected to be proficient at it.
The Museum’s collections of Asian art span nearly five millennia and encompass the cultures of China, the Himalayas, India, Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia.
