Featured Fish plate ID

Using google lens, these plates are much more expensive than I woulda guessed. Why?

Can anyone help with the mark? I was assuming it was Japanese, but couldn't find a match on gotheborg.com.

Thank you!

Love it ! here's one similar-Meiji/Arita/Imari/1890's ? The only negative personally (not for You)-is that they're not cheaper !

There's something about that price I just don't get.... though it is 1stdibs.

 

This is a mark that looks imitative to me. Not actually Eastern? (I've been wrong often enough.)

 

Potts-That was the first screen grab I copied,prices def vary.

 

Not finding that mark.
This is the only one found that's similar, but no information about it.

Roaring,given the quirks of each individual artisan, that looks almost (?) dead-on to me.You might query the folks at The Asian Art Forum ?

 

Here's another example with the same mark.

If you Google 'imari fish plate' there are lots of different examples.

I think you might have a decent catch.

These pieces are beautiful & cheaper than Halibut.Think I could get hooked on this stuff & there's lots on the net.

 

Thank you @Chinoiserie! I had found some but not with the same mark.


... and the price for that one on invaluable? Let's go!

 

Still none the wiser though. The sites provide very little info and just state imari. I'm thinking 1920s 30s by the decor. What say you?

 

... and @bosko69, I smelt your bass puns coming from a mile away.

 

20's / 30's would seem right based on the piece in hand, but I could be way off too.

I got the piece at auction with no info whatsoever.

 

Whatever it's worth,it's a beauty-love the Lobster,that seems uncommon.

 

spiny lobster....maybe.

 

Tried gotheborg too under the export section. No joy. Can't seem to find the arita/imari section anymore.

 

OMG, I have a similar fish at my grandma's home and even haven't known these facts 0_0
