Dear Georges,

     I magnified the bowl to the highest I could, and saw no evidence of printing as opposed to painting in the technique. I would say it is a very nicely painted bowl and presumably from the Guangxu period ( though I did not see the mark, but assume you identified it correctly). I would have dated this bowl ca. 1850-1900, since the style, shape etc., could also have been from the Xianfeng reign or the Tongqi reign.
Best,
Joey
