I have tried to find who GW is but with little joy does anyone recognise this well potted large bowl.

i don't know if this will be of any help or a complete dead end, but the colouring reminds of Gustavsberg pottery.

Probably by Gary Wornell, a Canadian who has worked in Suffolk 1976-94, plus Nepal and Finland, and is now a photographer. These pieces were made over the past 30-40 years.  
He also potted under the name Gary Wornell-Brown between 1971-79, before dropping the Brown. There is mention of him exhibiting in a Suffolk gallery with Anndelphine Wornell-Brown in a 1980 copy of Ceramic Review
