bowl and mark

Beginning of 20th?
This is printed; printing porcelain didn't begin in China before middle of 20th century. The shape of the bowl is something that did not exist in any traditional porcelain. The type of the interior of the foot shown is not right for early 20th century either. The mark is fictitious. Mark characters like this were never used before the third quarter of the 20th century. The can be found in modern products and fakes, however. In my opinion a modern product that could possibly be no more than 20 years old. There were never any decorations on the inside wall of bowls, as they are shown here.
In my view this couldn't go as a fake as it does not try to fake anything. It looks modern.

It looks to me like it has some age, probably not of the period, but could from early 20th century, late 19th century.

Hello,
This is a spurious Kangxi mark found on 20th century items. Your item is not antique. It could be printed. That can be verified by looking at it with a magnifier. Single brush strokes are usually clearly visible when hand painted.
