Tongzhi period bowl?This bowl measures,8 and one-half in wide x4 and one half in high,it is octagonal in shape,has enameled butterflys inside and outside the bowl,the glaze is beautiful in color,the bowl has no condition problems.I would appreciate an expert opinion,and any information about the bowl,also wondering about insurance value.Thanks Pamela

Hi Pamela

I doubt this bowl is late 19th Century!

Judging by the colours and base stamp it's more likely of a more modern production, probably somewhere around the late 1950's.

It's difficult to say for sure with such small images for study.

Best Wishes,

Gary.

Thank you Gary for your response in regard to the bowl,am including more photos that hopefully show more detail.If the bowl is in fact a newer production piece,does it have any insurable value.Thanks again Pamela.
