    This is a signed (Mid-century??) matt finish bowl. Has an interesting design detail around the bowl. In different lights some of the design appears to have a pinkish ting and other parts a blueish ting. (spell check doesn't like my spelling of tinge..means color)
    The opening is 7" across. The height is about 2" tall. The inside has a blueish grey color. I can't find anything on the name signed as Rhea. (I think) which appears to be in script.
    It looks like a better piece of pottery though. Haven't had time to really do some searching. Does this look familiar?
    Thank you for helping me identifying this piece.

      Possibly Rhea Shea, an Oregon potter;

      I did take a look. The signed name of Rhea looks similar. I'll need to follow up on this. Maybe she's in Facebook. Or i'll see if she's listed in a studio.
      That's a good start Mary. Thank you for the information.

      I think the signature is very close not to be her

      maryh1956, i believe you're correct. I just found on Google search a piece signed which looks exactly like the piece i have. AND the listing says she's from Oregon. That mystery is SOLVED. THANKS AGAIN.
