    I think I've worked out that this is a Kangxi mark. Not sure if later or what, my photos show the unglazed bottom section as bleach white, but realize I took these photos in heavy sun last summer and I think photo was a bit overexposed, so not as light in real life. There are signs of use to the unglazed bottom part.

    Looks like someone used it as a base for a plant as there is a hard water circle inside.

    What would I call the piece's form if listing? Also, any guess as to age? Thanks.

    I have seen incised decor on Imperial yellow but that green is not like celadon. Looks new?

    In the hand it feels vintage at the least. My photos are overexposed from too much summer sunlight-- and make the base look pristine. Maybe could post more in regular light if helpful. Not hundreds of years of wear at first glance, but if someone told me this was even as old as 1920s, I could believe it. It has a certain fineness and weight in the hand, like it is a better made (not modern) piece.

    Incised decor -- thanks for that term. Also the signature is incised, didn't know if that was any kind of clue.

    Thanks so far for the responses!

    I like it - no idea if it's actual Kangxi period.

    The color reminds me some of Fiesta ware, that is all I got. Very pretty.

    I like this bowl. I'm not sure of the age Lucille, but I think it is an older one, I would have picked it up too:)

    I tried using Translate never have found to be exact but this is what it roughly translates

    The dragon is an Imperial dragon hence the 5 toes
    Does look older to me but JMHO
