[QUOTE="Francisco G Kempton, post: 4409212, member: 22714"]Hi Sunday Silence, You also might find this section on Gotheborg helpful. [URL]https://www.gotheborg.com/marks/brownetched.shtml[/URL] These brown etched ware began around the Tongzhi era (1862), and the brown borders were orgionally designed like roof tiles, which is what your bowl appears like, it was not until Guangxu period ( 1871) that they introduced the Chenghua Period mark and the brown etched borders began to have quaterfoils and Ruyi designs inserted. As yours is a roof tile design and does not have the Chengha period mark it might be an earlier item. As Matt has said mid 20th century is most probable as most Brown etched ware are mid 20th century, and they make them still today. You can try date it by examining the colours typical of that time, and the base brown border design of your bowl is very similar and can be found in many PROC (1960) period brown etched ware. I would assume the bowl is mid 20 the century but keep an open mind that there is a possibility it might be an early Tongzhi brown etched bowl.[/QUOTE]
