Description

A very nicely decorated bowl with a decoration of fishes/carps and what seems to be grass and flowers.

The glaze is quite mate, like pieces of a shipwreck.

Fish – Yu – Fish in Chinese sounds like the word for “Abundance and Affluence” so the fish symbolizes wealth. Fish shown with a lotus blossom symbolize “Year after Year may you live in Affluence”.
