Please Help Identify this Vase

Good evening!

First of all thank you for taking the time to read and help me out. I am beyond a newbie and know basically nothing about art in general much less a vase.

I purchased a house from a 90 year old gentleman and found this piece stuck away in the corner of the attic. Now as I said I know nothing about art so for all I know this could be some cheap dollar store creation but it’s got some weight to it and is stamped on the bottom.

Unfortunately the stamps are simply two identical stamps. One is simply darker than the other and there are no names only what appears to me to be a lotus flower. Given I don’t really know what im looking at it’s hard to tell any sort of information about it and I can’t find those stamps online anywhere.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!!

 

Chinese vase....likely in the 40 year old range....or later as they are still being made...
I have 2 like it that my folks bought in the 80's....new !

 

Thanks a bunch!

 

As komo said, fairly new.
These are traditionally fish bowls, not vases. Which is why they have fish on the inside.

 

my folks used the 2 I now have as vases....for plants....
they did not keep fish...unless u count the goldfish I had as a toddler..

 

I would have called it a jardiniere until AJ said it's a fish bowl. Old or new, I think it's lovely.

Many people here used to use them as jardinieres. For potted palms and ferns, that kind of thing.
