[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 256662, member: 308"]I've somehow acquired a large collection of made in USA bulb bowls mostly Brush and Zanesville with some others thrown in.

There are quite a few impurities in this clay that most US pottery lacks. Also note the top rim appears to be hand formed and a bit uneven. I'm afraid I don't recognize the glaze either. The closest I can think of is a Muncie glaze and this is definitely not one of their products.
