I am hoping for help identifying this bowl. Based on other posts, it seems the base is showing flecks or spots of yellowish orange, which could point to a reproduction. But I defer to others.

Seems quite recent to me. Am not sure that it is attempting to reproduce an existing piece somewhere but to apply more striking colors and patterns to a traditional form, then claim on the base that it's for imperial use

In the antique market, when you come across a Tenmoku tea bowl bearing the “供御” mark, the reality is that almost all of them are either　
replicas made in modern-day China or elsewhere, or outright counterfeits. An authentic Tenmoku tea bowl bearing the “供御” inscription is of a caliber worthy of a museum collection.

With regards,

Thank you--appreciate the education! I'm trying to understand the difference between these two pieces: the bowl in the original post does appear as you describe it, but is the glaze technique and inscription significantly superior in the attached photos?
