Blue Celadon Glaze Stoneware Fishbowl
« on: February 19, 2015, 09:34:52 am »
Good Morning Everyone,
I need some help to determine if this vessel is a modern piece or a possible vintage piece.  Its a very heavy stoneware blue celadon glaze fishbowl.  Measuring approximately 9" in diameter and 5 1/2 " tall.  The only clue to this one is that the labeling (paper label) that was attached appeared to have some foxing to it. The label is illegible. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Sorry you guys.  A little history would help, right?  I purchased the bowls at a goodwill in Georgia, my research indicate that it could be an original from Korea.  There is a large population of Korean immigrates in this area.  Hopefully this information is helpful.

Hi, the glaze makes me think Chinese Shiwan pottery, but that does not mean it has to come from there. I think it is rather a planter, as it has a hole in the bottom... I do not think it is antique.

Hi Mat,

I agree, I checked out the Shiwan Pottery images and its very close. Also, I agree that it is a planter. Thanks for you help.
