The center of the circle has the Masonic eye and two hands clasping, I cannot make out the rest.
Re: Rare Bowl?
Produced by Universal Potteries in Cambridge, Ohio. Warranted in 22 carat gold.
I have the same bowl and have been looking for the pattern name! The closest I can find is UNI171 or UNI177.
