Small Paint Decorated Bowl

This bowl has paint decoration on the outside and also on the inside.
Bowls such as this one that have been painted on the interior have what is known as put to rest paint, most likely a Mother's bowl or Grand Mother's bowl, which when they passed on would be painted on the inside and put away never to be used again.
Early 19th c. found in New England measures 9" x 9 ¼" and 2 ¼" high.
