I am interested in finding out information about my vintage bowl.
You have a Chinese Octagon Footed Bowl.
Marks help identify the period, but the mark on your bowl is illegible.
The price of a Chinese polychrome enameled octagonal bowl is $ 19.99 www.ebay.com/
The price of 2 Antique Chinese Famille Rose Chop Suey Octagon & Hexagon Footed Bowls (9") is $ 229 www.ebay.com/

Found this bowl at my Grandmother's home, anyone have a price or age info. Thanks
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.
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.
A similar H/L bowl from the 1920's is listed for $13 on ebay:
