These are inexpensive bowls that sell for less than $10 on eBay.
This is probably something you should keep as a 'keepsake' and remembrance of your grandmother as the value will probably be very low.
Information about your bowl:
If I'm reading the marking correctly, this bowl/pattern was made in November 1927 at Newell, West Virginia at plant #5.
Marks with date codes from the mid to late 1920s will have:
1. Made in USA
2. a single letter for the month (A=Jan, B=Feb, C=March, etc.)
3. a single number for the year (2=1922, 3=1923,..., 7=1927, 8=1928, 9=1929)
4. an "L" for the Laughlin potteries in East Liverpool, Ohio or an "N" for the Newell potteries in Newell, West Virginia.
5. in some cases, a 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 for the specific plant number in Newell.
Your bowl appears to have a lot of crazing and this usually devalues
china as it actually weakens the item and tends to make it unsafe to use with food.
I did not find the pattern name but you can send pictures to Replacements.com and they may be able to help you.
