Found a beautiful possibly Chinese porcelain bowl that I am guessing is from the late 1800s maybe? I am going by the look of the markings. Can anyone help me to figure out what the markings on the bottom of this mean? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome!! Love it
The red mark is a stamped Tongzhi reign mark (1862-1873), the bowl could date to this period or slightly later into the Guangxu period. The engraved marks are probably a previous owners way of identifying his pieces, might be his name...
excellente assesment notice the difference in turquoise bottom , and open mouth symbol left under indeed probably guanghu Stillwater turquoise bottom piece is smooth turquoise
notice the spearhead design ( obverse rose colored)
agree signed might be his name, could also be gift or loan ( really!) for a wedding
