Not sure if it is Japanese or Chinese. Just want to know if it is real (like old) or fake (trying to look like old). Not a collector just a person interested in old stuff. Thanks.

Is a Japanese bowl with Arita pattern and the mark is Fuku from early 1700's. It is impossible to know if it is true or false only by the photos ...but this mark is an unusual mark inaccessible to a common forger. In my opinion your bowl is a real Arita Fuku from 1700's.

Thank you so very much for your comment. I almost thought about removing the subject. From what I can tell there are "rust" spots located on the piece. If it is real I did not think that it would be that old. What would your opinion be as far pursuing the authenticity of the bowl? Again, much thanks for your comments. Jason.
