hello and welcome to the GMB. :)
Sorry, but your pix not large enough to see details clearly, and your most recent image appears to be a repeat of earlier pic.?
These deeply flanged, or turned-over rimmed bowls, are in a shape that started out life somewhere around 1800, and their Georgian style was made even as late as the 1930's I believe - possibly somewhere in Czechoslvakia, but as good copies, although they may well have lacked the colour of the originals. The originals were apparently not exclusively Irish, and it's thought that the design was English in origin. Yours does look a tad white ish to be old, but that may simply be a fault of the screen. Those with deeper recessed bowl sections may well have been for salad, but smaller versions (sometimes even with lids) may have been for fruit. Your bowl section looks
unusually deep - almost made me wonder if it was an elaborate celery bowl.
The cut design on older examples was copied on the later pieces, so that alone will not really help.
If you re-size so that the first dimension is about 700, then all should be a lot clearer - and dimensions of your bowl are essential, together with close up pix of the underside of the foot, together with comments about the extent of wear - seeds - or other useful comments.
Look forward to seeing some more pix, together with your comments about the matters I've mentioned. Would indeed be a great piece if this was c. 1800, but only 'if' :)
