    I found these at Goodwill today too. I know nothing about them, but the bottom side is deeply carved [i know they're molded, but the original was carved out of something] carp swimming around - feeding. From the top side, they really look very three-dimensional - have a lot of depth. Japanese? Chinese? New? Old? interesting...

      These are really great Ho2. I think I may have seen something similar from Japan but I wouldn't bet on it.

      If these are by Verlys, you will find the name etched somewhere on them.
