Hi Arjan,
Being considered even half-right by you is still an honor. :) No doubt your bowl is antique right down to the crackle, white faces and all. Usually I'd let things like that slide right by as long as they don't look too chalky and the rest of the decoration looks like it belongs there, but with the fuzzy photos provided, my impression was one of deja vu all over again. Like looking through fogged glasses at shelves lined with fresh vases in this pattern at the China Arts & Crafts store in Hong Kong when living there in the late 70's-early 80's. And I forget to mention earlier that the red base-mark looks rather modern, sort of flat, like it could have been done with a decal.
Best regards,
Bill H.
