Any info on this?

Hi Justin.
Looks like a lamp base? How many toes lol

lol

Your funnyLOL!!!

 

It looks Chinese. Man riding coi fish could be Shou lau? If I'm spelling it correctly.

 

Shou Lao is the big bald immortal with the peach, isn't it?

 

Haha he is. I see a few called shao lao?

 

I think it is qin gao, but I am afraid to write anything here now!!!!

 

Don't let one unmentionable poster get under your skin.

 

I don't know very much so I know you cannot be referring to me!

Qin Gao is riding a carp/koi so he seems like a better fit.

Believe me Justin, I am learning this as I go along, just like you...

 

never

 

Kinko sennin?

 

Like I want to know who the little green guys with shells on their backs running around with lanterns are??


It seems like Qing and Kinko are closely related to each other...maybe cousins?

 

Not referring to you at all!! Thanks for the input!!

 

Me too!! I have been googling away!!!! Little green men... I do believe this piece is an underwater scene? The blue dragon represents dark skys or deep waters I believe

 

All that I know is that the fish are supposed to represent wealth or money. Or, so I was told by a man from China when friends gave me this rather expensive tiny delicate porcelain 5-sided dish with fish in the center and that you can see your fingers through it without holding it up to the light. if I had a picture of it, I would send it.
