Sweet octagonal bowl in the "Indian" pattern by Royal Doulton. The Registered Design Number on the base was first used in 1912 and the backstamp dates no later than 1927. There are some other faint marks on the back that may have dated it more accurately but I can't make them out. The number though, 597783, appears also to have been used with other patterns, notably Nankin Blue although I have seen other examples of this pattern with the same number. Condition is fairly good for its age - a couple of small hairline cracks to the edge that appear to have been there for a good number of years as they have become stained, otherwise general age related crazing and a couple of small surface nips to the green edging.
