This is a late Qing or Republic imperial style "Minyao" (popular kiln) dragon bowl with an apocryphal mark of "Made during the Kangxi Reign" (Kangxi Nian Zhi - 康熙年製). The dragon scales appear to be drawn in a naturalistic manner, which is typical of the Kangxi period (1662-1722). However, I infer from the Mainland China-published "Compendium of Historical Porcelain Markings" that Kangxi period underglaze blue marks of four characters like the one on your bowl, while rare to begin with, usually were placed either in square borders or double circles. Bowls marked like yours were common during and after the Guangxu Period (1875-1908).

For comparison, I've included some images of a Guangxu mark & period dragon bowl that I acquired from a reputable dealer several years ago. The dragons on this bowl share the naturalistic treatment of the scales seen on yours.

Best regards,

Bill H

Bill, I appreciate your opinion on this piece. Thank you. Could you please give an approximate value on it?

Mine has a couple of hairlines and some glaze pops on the rim, I bought it from a reputable British seller on eBay in April 2012 for GPB 205.00 (Approximately US$ 325.64) at the time.
