Porcelain bowl ID

I found a set of bowls with the koi/carp motif. They appear older and of different quality than the ones I usually see based on the foot and the glaze, which is pale blue green. Any ideas of the age?

Looks pretty new to me, based on the shininess of the glaze and whiteness of the porcelain. The blue has a purpleness to it too, usually pointing to late Qing/Republic but the base doesn't look correct for that period.

It does appear to be hand painted though.

Yes, hand painted. Here's a comparison with two other similar dishes (planning on using them as a dining set.)
