Wonderful scallopped bowl hand painted in Hong Kong

ANY information on this piece would be appreciated! I find it most difficult to research Chinese & Japanese porcelain and its markings.
And no clue how to place a value on it.
The bowl is in great condition 10" w x 5" h

I'm with you there , hemster922 , when researching something where info is sparse or in a language that ones does not speak or 'out of my realm' reasons & etc. too !
There's plenty of a lack of info about items that are not antiques from the get-go , esp with many many mass-produced asian potteries among them .
Plenty of buyers in my area stay away from red-hued chinese/asian modern/recent-wares that are hand-painted , out of concern for the lead that is often used in the paints (PacificNW) .

A fine little source of specialized & generalized info on Chinese & Japanese hallmaks & such that I'd suggest you take a peek into would be : www.gothebrog.com

One alternative is just web-surfin & checking ebay & like sales on sites , for pricing & perhaps gleaning bits & pieces .

I'm certainly no expert on items like yours , though !

Thanks so much Joe!

Heres a better link to that site you mentioned. www.gotheborg.com
They have an 'email consultation' section I'm going to try because I can't quite figure this out.
I have quite a few Chinese & Japanese pieces, as well as Korean art from an artist named Shin Yun-bok I need info on.
Thanks again Joe! At least I'm getting somewhere

Items like this bowl are usually found at Import shops !! Even though its pretty, the painting and details are not quality !!  Most are mass produced, painted by homeworkers as cottage industry, then sold to import shops everywhere !!
