It's called the 'blank"....the form that can be decorated many different ways.
For example Haviland often used the Ranson blank....for many patterns....and other potterys also used that blank or shape, such as Hutchenruther and Johnson Brothers.

The link below is the nearest I could find to your bowl.

I agree with lindac. That could be a blank. There are 2 other possibilities: It was a lower cost, un-decorated offering, or is was part of a pitcher and bowl set.

It's too small to be the bowl of a pitcher and bowl set: you couldn't hold one of those up in one hand for the camera. It could definitely be a plain blank sold cheaply for home china painters to decorate themselves.

Thank you all for all of the information. I wish it would have been part of a set so i could track down the others. I’m a history buff and have been so intrigued.

In speaking of pottery and china, the word "blank" doesn't mean an undecorated piece, but refers to the shape....the mold used to make a piece....then that piece was decorated, or not, in a given pattern.

So blank is the type of bowl? It seemed similar to a vegetable bowl made by the WH Grindley Co.

please excuse my ignorance, i have no knowledge about pottery so i appreciate the information.

Here you go:

Platter in your pattern with info about it

Not quite, Oly. Those ebay pix lack the beading the OP has on her bowl.

Oh, you're right tj, I missed that :-(

Caroline, no...the "blank" is the shape....the mold that the bowl was made in.....adn that blank is also used for cups and saucers, plates gravy boats etc....it's the shape of the piece...whether decorated or not.
