Hi,
I would appreciate your thoughts on this bowl. I acquired it from my family 40 years ago, and know nothing of its history prior to that. My family did collect antique.
Thanks!!!

Yes, it is rustic isn't it...hopefully that indicates it is OLD!! 🙂 looks hand done.

TOO funny as after seeing your post I remembered seeing a similar piece somewhere and Lo & Behold it was here on Ebay! lol try looking up this auction ID: - 190901291291 Per that seller their's is simply marked Japan. I had thought Rosenthal. Good luck!

Looks like transferware, in answer to purplegilda, but read this, grouper5lb, but the handpainted crown makes me think British.

Check with a flashlight to see if it is translucent, a good indication it is porcelain. I still think British.... keep combing through the marks, I am sure you will find it!
If all else fails, check with an online appraisal service. I have had good luck with worthpoint and whatsitworthtoyou. I never thought transferware was that old! amazing what one learns with a little bit of research 😉
