That glaze has all the hallmarks of Spurlin Ceramics. The same type of bowls used at the Islander here in Los Angeles.

Here's another thread with some info on Spurlin ceramics, but do a search here on TC with the word "Spurlin" and you should see some more examples with the same glaze.

I think the scorpion bowls used at the Islander restaurant would be marked "Islander", but Spurlin also sold unmarked versions to any restaurants that needed them.

Midnight might chime in here with more information, but in any case, those are very nice scorpion bowls.
