This appears to be a 20th century Chinese bowl because the photos show bleeding or flow of the pigment around one of the marks, a clue suggesting decoration by printed transfers. This type of technology didn't come into use in China on a commercial scale until the early 20th century.
There is nothing uniquely Tibetan in the characters comprising the bowl's decoration. They are Chinese and auspicious in nature, consisting of various forms of "shou" (long life) and other happy blessings if I read them correctly. I see nothing obvious in Tibetan script.
The bowl coudn't be Xuande period, because the "De" character on the bowl has a horizontal stroke over the heart radical that wasn't used during that Ming reign.
Best regards,
Bill H.
