Aynsley fine art collection bowl

I found this at an online auction. From the pictures on the site, I thought is was a plate but it is a bowl 10 inches wide and 3.5 inches deep. It is in mint condition. Aynsley fine art collection is printed on the bottom of the bowl and it is signed by J. Shaw.

You can see from the pictures, there is masking tape on the bottom but it doesn't cover up any print. I have been afraid to try to get it off and don't know what would be best to use.

I have done research on the internet but can't find anything about it. I don't know how old it is or how many were made etc.

I would love to learn more about this. I think it is beautiful!
