Hi Walter,
Nice bowl but I suspect it's probably made after 1980. Lots of Republic pieces have now been copied, after all that's what the Chinese do best.
First thing to look for is defects in the glaze.
If there are then you might be in with a chance. You haven't shown the base? that would confirm its true date.
For reference I've uploaded a base from the 1980's copying the 1950's.
