    Hello everyone - I am not sure where to start with this bowl. It measures about 10 7/8" across and about 2 1/8" high. I think it's redware with a brown glaze and slip decoration but am not sure. The decoration is prettier than the photos show. The whites are more of a cream and yellow. My search for the mark didn't turn up anything. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

    I don't have any research to back it up, but this looks like a fairly new piece to me.

    I'm pretty sure it's from Switzerland. If you Google keywords like Switzerland pottery, Switzerland pottery marks, etc... I think you should be able to find that particular maker's mark.
