This Qing dynasty marking is quite real to me, but as there are some english warning there which makes me very confused.
Is it a sme sort of export antique from china during late Qing dynasty?
Can anyone give me some details about this markings, Thank you very much!!! If you want some more photos of this bowl, mail me :

Since this bowl contains a health warning in English, I don't think it is antique, but a reproduction of a Qing Dynasty (1644 - 1911) intended for export. I'm not an expert in porcelain, so perhaps others can comment. A health warning definitely suggests a modern piece to me. It's a lovely bowl though, you can always use it as a decorative piece.

I believe the FDA imposed that rule on ceramics that could be mistaken for culinary use in 1981.

It is a modern piece !! That warning was added to export ware because of lead content in the paint used on them !!
