help please.

hello.
I have been searching for any answers for the two pottery mark.
the first one appears to be maybe a small blue fish. this comes from a 3 piece tea saucer set. this is the only markings that I can find on the set.

the second mark is from a vase, incan only guess a compass and maybe a fish but supper hard to tell. both markings are really small

 

Would/could you post photographs of all pieces? Then tell us where in the world you found them and what you know about them.

Hi Debora,

These are from my late grandma. I don't know too much more of any back story. Grandma had a fair amount of Japanese pottery which I have been able to figure out the origins.
the first photo are the pieces from the first post.

the second photo is from another set of pottery, this looks newer however and the paint design is slightly different on the top of the handle. the is also a maker's mark on the bottom. from looking the second photo is possibly a copy of the first photo?

 

I am sorry for your loss. I understand that you don't know everything about these pieces, otherwise you wouldn't ask here, but surely you know which country your grandma lived in?

The last mark you posted is indeed Japanese. The pottery people will be along later.
Meanwhile, could you enlarge the last three photos? They are very small and the first two show more of a table (and shoes) than of the item in question.
Also, knowing which mark goes with which item would be very helpful.

 

oh sorry forgot to add that. New Zealand is were the pieces are.

absolutely! I'll take some better photos tonight when I finish work.

 

hopefully these photos help.

first 3 are the vase height of the vase is 205mm width is 200mm depth is about 58mm.

the next 7 are from the 3 piece cup and saucer set. there are a couple small chips in the plate not to sure if the material used can maybe used to identify? these pieces have no idenfication markings.

 

I ran out of photo space in the above post.

these photos are i am thinking a possible copy from the photos above. this is more of a complete set with a milk jug etc.
the flowers on the handles have been painted in a different orientation and there are marks under the handles which I can only guess is from when it was glazed? also has a makers mark.
also has a slight chip which is a different color than the tea saucer cup.

 

yes, 10 photo's per post maximum...

 

Aww, what a sweet set. It is Japanese, and you can find the factory name at gotheborg.com under Japanese marks, 20th c. With that pattern and those colours, I think in the 1920s/30s. The moon vase is a very pretty shape and I love the Chinese style base. I think early 20th c as well, the colouring is a blush or peach ivory which hearkens back to the late 19th c. The single A mark could be just a decorator's or production mark. Not sure where it was made -- could be Japanese, too, or European. Others may chime in.
