I can't blow up the pic. so I can't tell a lot about the inside markings/stamps. I agree that they look rather uniform. I've never seen one like this esp. with the inside stamped.

If it's steatite (soapstone) then it's not stamped, but carved out with a chisel or hand pick. Looks modern to me, compared to all the other soapstone bowls that I've seen.

Yeah no. Here's a pic of a very warn + degraded partial I found sticking out of a muddy creek-bank in Virginia back in the early teens. I was in native soapstone territory w/ a big quarry a couple miles away-if that.
