were, Cool. :-)
This looks like it could be the same Homer Laughlin pattern, but a slightly different bowl, because it doesn't have handles.
However, it is Homer Laughlin Eggshell, has a floral pattern underneath the 22K gold, and also was made in 1941, but in a different month at Newell plant #5 (the code looks like "I41N5"):

A month code of "I" in combination with a year of (19)41 seems problematic, because per laurelhollowpark dot net:

During the 1930s, the letter "I" wasn't always used and by the 1940s it disappears from all HLC markings.

So maybe that month part of the code is a malformed "L."

I didn't see your pattern in there, but maybe I didn't look carefully enough.
Whoops, this looks like it, even if the date is a bit iffy:

Homer Laughlin Eggshell Nautilus plates and cups decorated by George H Bowman & Son (Salem, Ohio) company in a pretty gold floral pattern. Research shows that the Bowman Company decorated and sold these ca. 1940.
