I have a beautiful handmade bowl stamped with the museum name and artist signed on the clay colored base. Cannot read the signature however.

It is about 6 inches across at the top with 2 small handles, fatter in the middle, then tapering to the base About 8 inches tall.. The bowl is very dark blue at the top and inside. The outside is graduated in color to the cobalt base. There is a wavy leaf type raised , lighter color decoration around the whole bowl. This decoration is part of the pottery and not applied

I know it is not antique but would like to know something about it.
Don't know how to post pictures.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

You need an outside hosting service (Photobucket or one of your own domains). I use a domain I own to upload and host the pictures. Once you've done that, open a new browser window and locate the picture. Copy the URL out of the top bar and paste it in place - like and your picture will show up. Sorry, that's just the one I had in the clipboard buffer.

Do NOT try to sell that on eBay!!!

Could you explain why you think I should not sell this on eBay?

I have an agent working for me now and I have no problem at all with his work. I am, however, losing my shirt.
Very few bids on lots of the stuff. No bids on one item and it seems that someone must not have paid for one item because it is back up.
Sigh!!
