 Closer photo needed

You have to provide a closer photo of the Dragons... from where I'm looking, they look very modern to me.

If the bowls are of the period, I cannot tell for sure from these pictures, but they look convincingly antique. I have no doubt that they are from the Qing dynasty.
The details of the dragon, especially the scales may provide an additional hint to the period, sometimes.
The mark isn't very beautifully written, but that was frequently the case with items fired in private kilns. With such a mark items are more likely to be of the period, I think.
