Bottom marking reads,
大清乾隆造三中品 - Da Qing Qianlong-zao San Zhong Pin - Made during the Qianlong years of the Great Qing Empire、Third Middle Size
(Hovever, I am not quite sure about the meaning of
三中品 - Third middle size ?)

Characters 隆乾 are written side by side

3 characters on the side,
福禄壽 - Happiness, position and longevity

With regards,
I.Nagy

Hi Michael,

Your celadon bowl is a Vietnamese tobacco pipe missing its stem. The celadon ceramic may be Chinese but more likely it also is Vietnamese.

The photo was taken in a small variety shop in Vietnam.

I believe that 'San Zhong Pin' (三中品) may mean 'More than average quality' in colloquial Chinese.

Best regards,

Bill H.
