I don't think I've seen one with Taiwan on the bottom, but I tend towards the older stuff anyway. Japan would be the older bowl, but there were a couple of slight differences in the bowl like a scalloped top edge, but those don't have the R-94 on them. (see the Orchids section of the tiki gallery)

Other than that I don't know how to date it except for comparing the detail to a bowl that might be older. The detail should be much sharper in an older bowl than a newer one. Hope this helps.
