<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 567157, member: 8267&quot;]I found this at a consignment shop recently. I have found a similar one online ( <a href="http://www.higginsantiques.com/our-stock1/a-chinese-export-mounted-rooster-bowl/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.higginsantiques.com/our-stock1/a-chinese-export-mounted-rooster-bowl/" rel="nofollow">http://www.higginsantiques.com/our-stock1/a-chinese-export-mounted-rooster-bowl/</a> ), which they have dated to the early 20th century, and is marked &quot;Made in China&quot;. But the one I have does not have any markings. Should I assume it dates before the 1890 act which required labels for import? Or might it have been collected in China and brought back by an individual (rather than being imported)? Or might it be more recent and lost a paper label? </p><p>Porcelain.
