Yes...I'm surprised no one answered you yet.
Inside the Chinese bowl reads: Great Elegant Court (Da Ya Zhai)...referring to Empress Dowager Cixi's court while her son Guangxu was "officially" the Emperor 1875-1908. Basemark reads: Yong Qing Chang Chun (Forever Celebrate
Long Spring)=may you live forever or long time.
See www.gotheborg.com, marks, late Chinese,then scroll down to "recent editions" and find the green bowl, same as yours as to marks. My guess your bowl was made around 1895-1900, but possibly a few years after the dynasty was overthrown in 1908. In other words, it might not be an "imperial" porcelain item, but rather an antique "repro" of the Empress's own bowl but matching its style. In any case, if you don't want it, you can give it to me! (joking, of course). Very nice. walter
