    DSC_0628.JPG DSC_0629.JPG Hi!
    I have this small bowl of some kind that I'd like to know a bit more about. I've found a vase of the same kind that sold for about 6000-7000€. Could this one be that expensive too? And if I wanna sell it, what do you thing a suiting price would be? DSC_0631.JPG DSC_0631.JPG DSC_0631.JPG

    A printed paper label, that covers up the base would draw my suspicion.....as a red flag.

    T'ung Chih is now written Tongzhi. I don't recognize a Tongzhi mark though.
    It is not your usual mark, but I think it is Jiaqing (1796-1820).
    It is a 'famille rose' teabowl. Here is a set of four in the same style, but of a slightly nicer quality than yours:

    When pricing yours, you have to take into account that there is only one and it is not top quality. A complete set of something is always worth more than just 4x1.

    By the way, take the label off and see if there is something hidden underneath;).

    A common bowl and decoration. As other pointed out of poor quality. Not sure if Jiaqing or Tongzhi. Probably a bit later.
    Can we see that vase of the same kind? It was sold for about 6000-7000, how much exactly? I highly doubt a piece with the same decoration to sell so high.

    The mark reads"Dun Yu Tang Zhi".
    The name of this kiln is the one I have never heard and I cannot find any reference about it.
    This piece of bowl is most likely made in Guangdong, China in the Republic period (1911-1949) by one particular household or clan for their own use.
