Hi (: I saw this large bowl today and I am hoping you can help to date it. It is quite beautiful, but a little big and heavy. There are no marks on it.
Thanks again for your help!!

bowl or basin

From the size of it that could as well be a wash basin.
The interior decoration originates from the Jiaqing/Daogugang reigns. Because of the exterior color such items are sometimes called 'soy sauce' wares by the Chinese. The west called it Batavia ware, as the Dutch seemed to be fond of items with this color. But this one was made after the Dutch Eastindia Company stopped operation and should not be export ware for the west.
