They are Chinese marks. Read from the right down. The two important marks are the third right and the top mark at left: Tong + Zhi .
Tongzhi = 1862 - 1873.
There's one here:
http://ancientpoint.com/inf/16662-chinese_tongzhi_canton_famille_rose_butterflies_5__brass_armored_bowl.html
It is described as "Chinese Tongzhi Canton Famille Rose Butterflies 5½ " Brass Armored Bowl".
Seems to be apt.
Wow! You are on your toes tonite Vet! Nice going!!!
The bowl in the link is identified as 1900 - 1940, worth about twenty bucks. That isn't correct?
no it looks like a real tongzhi , but this is a rather well macao fake , so it is even later than republic period !
