Re: Studio bowl for identification
Its the decoration that is the main feature, and the pretty dog. Now that is probably not something you would see by a Professional studio potter. For a start, it would not get very much money.
Reading the Chelsea thread. Over their long history, they often gave lessons to amateurs and sometimes used Chelsea blanks. So, maybe it could be a very talented amateur?
If you knock out chelsea, then its till the decoration. Guernsey pottery might be a possibility. Their work was often as good as Chelsea's and they used earthenware. Also it was very much a tourist pottery.
Staying with the decoration, Jo Lester Isle of Wight did a very great deal of high quality decoration on tourist pieces. Moreover he had numerous people who worked with him, and established their own potteries aimed a similar tourist market. Includes his daughter , Bembridge pottery, West of England Pottery and several others.
But whatever it is, I do not really think it is a high value item.
