Try here and see if you can match the mark !! They have an extensive library and cover most all the existing marks !!

Thanks for the link. I'm looking through it.

Haven't seen one yet but I have seen some similar. Looks to be early 1900s but not positive.

They are hard to match !!  One mark different changes the whole thing !!

Based upon the fact it includes CHINA in the backstamp, I'm not sure it is as early as that ... take a look at this link, it's the same site that Mart gave, and  quite an interesting site

I saw that Mario...I was more talking about the first bowl pictured.

It is an awesome site.

No, just says No 6 on it. Probably a stock number for shop, auction house etc

They're not particularly old, although the top one is the older of the two
