    Hello Board Friends - I'm trying to figure out the origin of this small trinket dish. It measures 4 1/4" across and a little over 1" tall. It reminds me of Scandinavian pottery but I haven't been able to make much headway on an ID. It's got a little bit of everything: people, birds, animals, buildings, rivers, etc. The dish is unmarked. I suspect a tourist piece. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    Just a thought...could it be the DIP part of a Chip and Dip Set?

    Not sure if that is writing on the side of the bowl...it does appear to possibly be Kannada south Indian.

    I try to use all my stuff if I can. My penny-lick glasses don't come out very often though.
