Gentlemen and Apostata could I have your thoughts on this item, Chinese I think with four base marks in red
I have looked everywhere but can’t crack the code

My guess is 1920s..
A scene of royal couple with attendants celebrating a festival...think it's missing a Foo dog?
This is one I was referring to that has similar scene...scroll down on link..

Thank you for your comments Dav2no1 interesting
Gentlemen and Apostata , cry cry i wanna be a gentleman son of a gun ill be back i am in a yixing deal scary and nervbreaking
dave is comparing this with an riding the qilin scene which is time and period Tongzi, but this tonality is more vivid than from Peter
In peter his bowl the frotte ( the stroking ) is different the blue got bleach parts
this is an abrreviated da ging tongzhi nianzhi without the da qing symbols
normally you ought to have an 6 character mark square with an closed frame , where the red mark is corroded into an bourgondy color mark ( there are only a few exceptions)
the main indicator is that globular melon with lean lotus knops are Republic period or later and populair kiln the so called minyao are different marked
so IMO this is something like 1940-1960 , the point is every one call this Tongzhi because time and period pieces make a lot of more money, , so ebay calls everything Tongzhi
i don,t trust this i hope i am wrong but there still value left IMO
Waki is the expert, not me. I was just guessing. So go with apostata
Dear Apostata & dav2no1
I just saw your comments I'm beginning to understand a little more thanks to you
Many thanks and best wishes
Peter
