If you want to fix it go to EDIT and copy the lines below the photos.
Then 'cut' or 'backspace' them.
Then paste them immediately after "bu".

 

And isn't that a Carp (Koi)?

Yes, I know, Goldfish are Carp.

 

It could have been made anytime within the last 20 years. Looks like a covered soup dish but can't tell for sure without measurements. It's a good thing it's pretty because the value on these pieces is purely decorative. If you want to sell or collect older Chinese pieces, Chris, in general avoid anything that says "Made in China". After the US re-established trade with China (I believe it was the 1970's) pottery just started to pour into the US. You might find some depression era pieces marked that way but it would be unusual. There's lots of pretty Made in China pieces out there but their value is based solely on their aesthetic appeal.

On February 21, 1972, President Richard M. Nixon arrived in China for an official trip. He was the first U.S. president to visit the People's Republic of China since it was established in 1949. This was an important event because the U.S. was seeking to improve relations with a Communist country during the Cold War.
