Antique Questions Forum / Antique metal bowl or just junk?

« on: May 14, 2011, 04:11:09 pm »

I was at a garage sale today and saw this bowl, what really made me like it was the Chinese characters on the bottom, it seems to be made of some kind of metal and painted over, and where the paint has chipped on the edges there is some rust. I cannot find any information on the manufacturer. Do I have an antique or is it just modern junk?
