I would like expert opinion on the signature on the bottom of this bowl. I don't believe it to be very old maybe 1940's. Not sure though! Any additional information is greatly appreciated.

I'm afraid you got a fake. This cannot be Chinese!  The top of the first character looks like the Japanese ??and below it resembles the character?? , but such a syllable-Kanji combination is virtually non-existent. Basically, it looks mroe as if someone wanted to copy characters he could not read/write.  The impuriities are too severe for either a Chinese or Japanese kiln.
