    image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg These are at the store I usually shop at. The consigner knows what they are and have priced them, I believe to high, $300 EACH! Two are stamped, on has red ink on the bottom and the fourth one I didn't see one, probably due to the sticker covering it. About how old are these? I believe $300 EA is to much. These pieces are very heavy and very large 10+ inches tall.

    Kutani not Katani

    Only my opinion, I'm not very knowledgeable about Asian items
    I would have thought Satsuma, not Kutani.
    Old ones would be that expensive. But these are being made currently and I don't know if those are old or new.

    Wait for others more in the know

    Can't believe I missed the spelling. Thanks though. I know the older ones bring money. I'm thinking he's asking way to much for them.

    I might pay 30, but not 300. They look awfully new from here. Two look Japanese and two look Chinese. It's one of those things that if you're going to display them and you're buying them just for the look then you can shell out. If you're thinking resale, I wouldn't pay much.

    九谷 reads Kutani. These are 4 of the Seven Gods of Good Fortune. Top one
    is Ebisu, then Jurojin, third photo is of Fukurokuju and last is Daikoku.
