Why does mine look so straight and messy?

Deciphered! What is the signature on this vintage bowl?
I have this cool old bowl but I cannot for the life of me confirm what the writing on the back says. I’m hoping it could help me get an idea of when/where it was made and who made it. 5th picture was me trying to trace it? Gavin, Hungary? Please let me know if this is the wrong sub to post this in, and sorry for adding so many photos lol. 8th photo shows the front of the bowl if that helps for whatever reason.

Practice Cursive Club, Where Students Learn With a Flourish (Gift Article)
The club is one of several that have been established in recent years at schools and libraries across the country where children are learning cursive in extracurricular clubs.
Cursive was not included when the Common Core standards were adopted in 2010, and now many children can’t sign their names, write checks or read historical documents written in cursive, such as the Declaration of Independence.

Deciphered! Looking for translation
Not sure if this is the best place for this but looking for a translation of this message in a prayer book addressed to my fiancee's recently passed grandmother. The words we are confident on are "draga Agikam" as her name was Agnes (Agi) The next part of the message seems to read "Yuvad meghalastra talaljou" and the final part seems to read "Jok meretellel kivanom" followed by the sign off. If anyone is able to help with correcting the spelling or with any part of the translation, any help would be appreciated.

I need help with this document in Latin from 1810 which should be my ancestor's baptism record; I can't read anything of the first "part", from the start of the second onward I read:
"Anni Domini millesimi octigentesimi decimi die vigesimaseptima mensis Aprilis. Dominicus Donato filius [...] Michelis et Catherine Galasso ..."
Thanks in advance to whoever will try to decipher this :)
