Blair Roy Pottery Appraisal

Ceramic Bowl or Plate with "Blair Roy Handpainted" Mark

This is the bottom view of a ceramic bowl or plate. The item appears to be made of earthenware or a similar porous ceramic material, indicated by the dark discoloration and staining visible around the foot rim. The main body of the item is a pale, likely off-white or cream color. The foot rim itself is rough and unglazed on the bottom, showing signs of significant wear and accumulated dirt or grime. There is a blue underglaze mark in the center of the base. The mark is circular and includes text as well as a floral or decorative motif. The text above the motif appears to read "Blair Roy". Below the motif, the text appears to read "Handpainted". The handpainted nature of the decoration implies a level of craftsmanship. The overall appearance suggests a well-used or aged piece with visible condition issues primarily centered around the unglazed foot rim. The staining around the base could be indicative of moisture absorption.
