I can't precisely tell the color from this photo if it is the right Blue. It look too dark, but could be right, the cobalt penetrate the surface. The white color of kaolin is good.
A bowl definitely not, perhaps it is "Kendi" a cooler and drinking vessel, if the "nose" have holes. I never seen something like this before. Try to fill it up overnight if the water get cooler by itself. Let me know. Google Kendi, usually used in South Asia (Moslem areas) for thousands years.
A Kangxi definitely no, since Emperor Shengzu (1654 – 1722) belong to Ching Dynasty. The mark says Ta Ming Wan Li Nien Chich (Great Ming Dynasty Wan Li Emperor Zhu Yijun [at 9] 1572 - 1620). It is roughly around 100 years older than you thought.
