The retailer or may also the maker was Wuhua in Beijing, c.1910s-30s. Almost all articles sold by Beijing Wuhua were for Western world.
Makers:
北京 (read from right to left) = Beijing
物華 (top to bottom) = Wuhua (name of the shop/firm)
足紋 (top to bottom) = Pure Silver

Thank you so much for responding. I was told it was from Beijing but thats all I knew about it. It's a beautiful bowl. I tried to search for this bowl online but I haven't seen another one like it. Thank you again.
