This bowl I have heard that it was from my great-grandfather's time. What do people think about it?

Welcome messi3710.

Can you please give a little more information about this pretty bowl?
 Size/dimensions
 Picture of the underside and any markings please
I'm from the South - but please don't mistake my Southern Manners/Accent/Charm as a weakness!

Nice bowl. I don’t recall seeing any like that.

A “pressed” ceramic bowl with a raised (relief) pattern on the inside with a mini-scalloped ?? rim.

Pattern and Carnival glass bowls, plates, etc. pretty much all have a raised (relief) pattern on the inside, …. whereas ceramic bowls are normally plain, painted or stenciled.

But for all I know at present, the bowl in question might be a “brown glass “pressed” bowl”.
