I want to say that's an OMC bowl. Does have an out rigger on the other side?
Great finds!!
No, the back is pretty sparsely decorated...just ocean horizon and an island with two sailboats indicated in the distance. The boats are not visible in the pics here, though:

But I'm glad you prompted me to go back and look again, because now I see THIS! What a beauty... I'm now on a quest! It is listed as OMC, and so similar that you must be right.

Thanks!
ManFromT.I.K.I., Nice find there. Some where on TC there is a thread showing an original MINT condition hand painted Tonga Kneeling Hula Girl Bowl. I think this is a photo from that clip as I saved it for my own reference as to what the painted version on the ladies looked like way back when.
Although my find for $15.00 has the paint chipping off, I have to say finding something great out in the wild is very satisfying. Now get back out there and find some more!
I have to agree. I still get goosebumps thinking about my $15.00 Polynesian Pigeon!
