    Hello Board Friends - I could use some help with this bowl. It stands 5" across the top, and 2 1/2" tall. Weight is 452 grams. I thought I saw somewhere that these pieces could be dated by the circular mark on the bottom but I can't remember where. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!

    Does it sing? As in Tibetan singing bowl, or Chinese (Sino-Tibetan?) in this case.

    Why, yes, now that you mention it, it does indeed sing. It's a lovely tone.

    Well, there you have it then, a Chinese singing bowl.:)
    Sorry, I can't help with the mark or the date.

    Thank you, Any Jewelry! I am going to have to sell it I'm afraid. I'm spending too much time ringing it!

    Probably just an old bowl?
