I have just bought this bowl.
The mark is Kangxi, but the decoration looks me typical of Tongzhi period.
I would say Tongzhi for the eyes, but decoration itself, could be also Guangxu.
This red printed Kangxi mark is not common on the web.
I would like to have comments on style and period.
Thank you.

I would say Guangxu period.
Thank you Stan,
it is probably Guangxu, early period.
I say early because the eyes are almost empty.
Yes, eyes look as if it is on the earlier side. The use of a Kangxi mark also appears to point to this time. The piece is in excellent condition, by the way.
Thank you Peter,
the period is no doubt identified.
Hi Peter and Stan,
I would like to point out that the faces outlines are black.
I have some other pieces from Tongzhi to Guangxu period where the faces outlines are light brown.
Is the color indication of a period or both colors were use ?
In the Guangxu reign either would be fine, I think. Tongzhi would be red.
Thank you Peter,
this is confirmation for Guangxu period.
