<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bakersgma, post: 1091769, member: 59&quot;]I&#039;ve been looking through the 1900, 1910 and 1920 Federal Census documents looking for someone in Washington State with the name M J Durant of the right age to have painted this bowl - to no success thus far. Tried JM and Durand instead of Durant because census records are often subject to misspelling or reversing initials, but that didn&#039;t really help either. </p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, I should mention because no one else has commented on it - the interior painting on this bowl was done in Japan with a local scene. The sails on the 2 boats are a dead giveaway. This is why I said above the the bowl was Japanese.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
