Blue and white 11-1/2" dia bowl, looks asian & old - any ID or observations?

Another research project here. This shallow 11-1/2 inch diam bowl looks like an older piece and has an interesting pattern. No maker marks, but leaf design on underside in triplicate. Can anyone tell me anything about it? Some glaze imperfections, and I see some excess glaze in places near the rim. Six of those unglazed spots on the underside where it sat while firing. Thanks in advance! ... Dave

 

Nice cobalt chintz pattern on the front there Dave

 

Thank you!

 

Japanese, probably late 19th, early 20th century? The 5 spurs marks should make it older but I am not sure. I know that the older Japanese porcelain had more stilt marks. I recently found a similar design bowl, will post pics later. I think those are transferware rather than hand painted. Can you tell if that is not a print?

 

I just had an associate look at it as well, and we think it is transferware.

 

I didn't know transferware flowed? Also doesn't transferware have tiny pin prick dots?

 

WOW, I just learned that some flow blue is transferware? I just learned that Decal Decoration has the dots.
