The date is 1905-1914 but sorry, we are unable to give valuations on the Forum.

I think Adam Partridge is your nearest bet for valuation

A good start would be Wooley and Wallis in this link.

They are one of the major art pottery auctioneers in this country. Generally with these Pilkington lustre pieces the value is in what is going on. The amount of varying colours of lustre, the amount of varied and detailed decoration etc. The more there is, the more firings are needed, and the more expensive the final price.

Ksavv here is a very good explanation (on another pottery forum) of why the experienced are somewhat reticent to give valuations. It really is a minefield.

So true. so true.
The market for Pilkingtons lustre is a bit like that for Studio pottery. People buy the work of individual decorators, and particular lustre and decoration within those particular people. It can be a narrow and very specialist field.

Thank you all for the messages! I completely understand why giving valuations is tricky and many people would be reluctant to offer them. I have now got more information than what I had a few days ago, will contact the auctioneers that were suggested and fingers crossed the bowl to find someone who will appreciate it.
many thanks!

The Monogram is for Gladys Rodgers, an "R" in a shield,
if you rotate it 90 degrees anti-clockwise.

Stunning is exactly the word for this glorious piece of Pilkington royal lanastrian lustre ware in the Walker Art Gallery Liverpool. By Richard Joyce in 1907.
