Hello, another very interesting bowl that I am trying to figure out origin of and what the writing says, it is 14.5 cm wide.

Thank you again for your valuable time, Adam

Hello,
I can't help you with the bowl itself, but the character on the inside means "big", those on the bottom mean "Eastern Big (or Great) Temple". The writing can't be too old because the first character is in simplified Chinese (PRC). The abbreviated character could have been used in earlier times too, but hardly in this writing style.
