<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dgbjwc, post: 13151772, member: 308&quot;]Not really my area but...American pottery companies produced similarly shaped bowls in a variety of sizes in the first quarter of the 20th century. They simply referred to them in their catalog pages as &quot;bowls&quot; with no specific use suggested. Forcing bulbs was a popular hobby at the time and that would be as good use for your bowl as any. Nowadays they&#039;re more likely to be used to store anything from dresser items to office supplies. The glaze on your bowl doesn&#039;t resemble anything American companies produced at that time but it could be European, or as my friend komokwa suggests, Japanese. I believe is early 20th century regardless. Information on majolica manufacturers can be a but sparse but there are majolica identification groups on Facebook that may be able to help you further. Lovely item.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
