Have any ideas of who made this pottery mixing bowl???
It has no marks at all. Swirl pattern outside and 3 rings inside.

Don't know, sorry! But the swirl pattern does look so much like "Franciscan Ware" Coronado pattern. Sorry, don't have my Franciscan book anymore... Gosh Shosh!

Paden City or Mt Clemens
Paden City Potteries made dinnerware. There are a number of pieces listed on eBay now. I have seen examples listed in most collectable dinnerware reference books. Although I haven't seen a whole book devoted to Paden City.
Shoshanah is very good with this stuff. The bowl reminds me of Gladding McBean too. There were a number of potteries that made similar patterns with very similar glazes in the late 1930's. Without actually seeing the bowl and comparing patterns and glazes, it is difficult to know for sure.
