Chinese bowl?
Porcelain or stoneware bowl with a thin celadon glaze with crazing.
Unglazed (bisque) inside.
Unmarked (the brown on the base is staining not a partial mark).
21cm wide, 11cm high
Pick this up thinking it was late C19th Chinese, but starting to doubt myself, partly because of the thinness of the glaze, and the clay looks off white and more like stoneware rather than the pure white one would expect of porcelain.
Could it be a C20th Continental copy? However, it doesn't appear to have been made in a slipcast method, with seams up the side, which one would expect from a piece of Western pottery. Instead there appears to be a top, middle and bottom section, which is more the Oriental method.

Re: Chinese bowl?
The shape doesn't look Chinese to me because of the footring.
