Featured Marked Blue & White Octagonal Asian Bowl: Anything?

It's 5 5/8" across the flats, 1 3/4" high, 3 1/2" foot rim; weight is 9 1/2 oz. The kiln flaw in pic 2 is in pic 7, enlarged. The 8 appliqué panels are all blurred, but the central 2 circles appear to be hand-done, as is the mark on the foot; all the blue is underglaze, including the mark. There is wear inside, but very minor. Is the mark an 'honorific'? Thanks for lookin'!

 

I like it Whit, and to my totally amateur eyes-the 'chop' and the double ring on the reverse look hand-painted.The front looks hand-done too, at least partially so. Age-sorry don't have a clue.

 

Looks 20th century to me. The decoration on the front is attractive, the brown spot is a pity.
The mark is off-centre and sloppy. I agree it is handwritten, but not in the antique way, where part of a line is thicker and has a more saturated colour because that is where the calligrapher rested his brush a split-second longer and pushed it down to end the line (usually at the end).

 

This is what I mean, in this case a Guangxu mark:

That doesn't look like traditional Hibi ("crack method") used in the traditional Japanese art of Kintsugi to repair broken ceramics with gold. It could be another form of the technique ? I think normally it looks more like this-

 

What a beautiful example, Bosko...a real treasure!

 

Lovely, AJ...a skilled hand, classic crafted characters. Thanks!
