Dear Sandeep Agrawal,
You bowl is made in China in 19th century and is called Swatow ware or nowadays Shantou, the South Chinese port in Guangdong province. It is called Swatow ware. It has some archaic symbols around referring to ancient Chinese objects. Some small damage has some effect on the price. My estimation is based on auction prices made in recent times.
Dear Mohammed,
The big auction houses will not accept objects below a certain threshold of value. I do not think the bowl is expensive enough for them.
Chinese market is good. I would recommend Ebay.com, Catawiki.com or a local auction house with prescription to a good platform like Invaluable, lot-tissimo ( German but good ) or life auctioneers. That way you are sure that Chinese customers will see the item and can bid on it.
Good luck !

Dear Simon,
Once again appreciates your quick response. Thank you for your valuable suggestions.
Just 1 question in general does mearto report accepted by Sotheby's or Christies if the value of the product is good?
Please let me know

I believe Sotheby's and Christies take all information in consideration concerning pieces in general. I do believe they are independent and if necessary they will overrule a valuation if they do not agree with it.
They certainly will not automatic accept an appraisal without having their own appraiser have a good look at it I believe.

One more question I have since we have small gallery also hence is it possible to get the one more certificate without mentioning price too as we want to put it in our gallery without mentioned estimated value
Please let me know
Thanks
If you cover the price tag you can make the information available I think ? I am not able to make a new one without an estimation I'm afraid.
Reagards,
