Hello All,

I recently picked up this colorful shallow bowl that I think is Japanese. A cursory search online showed me a couple (two examples) of similar pieces, though those were plates and not a bowl.

One even had a similar "fish" artist marking on the bottom, though both of those pieces had impressed marks on the bottom which I assumed were kiln marks, though this one does not have such an impressed mark.

The similar online examples were identified as "Yamatoku" kiln, is it possible this is the same? Is it possible to determin approximate age? Is anyone familiar with that fish-like mark?

Regards

The base mark you have here is Chinese Daoguang 道光矾红花押款. See attached example I found on tiktok.

Thank you for your contribution, but to my eye those marks do not look the same, unless you mean the peice on the right in your picture? In which case I cannot see it as it is blocked by your user photo.

But in any case, thank you for posting!

We dont expect to find identical marks. The vegetable fruit looking red mark is daoguang.
