Help! I got this awesome large dish with twin koi and a boy and girl on the lid. The bottom only has a pale glazed 1 inch square with no other marks. This is over 14 inches long about 9 inches wide and 11 inches high. I have tried to find anything on twin koi or twin babies any combination possible but have had no luck. one person said it looked like a color by number craft item, but if that was the case you would think I would find some more out here. I rescued this from the goodwill and love the colors.
It certainly doesn't look like a craft project! Look at all the details on the scales. Heras so etching similar in style that may help lead you in the right direction.

Oops, that darn auto correct. That was supposed to say here's an eBay listing!
Thanks, I did see the ebay listing and I am still at a dead end to find out about this. I agree the colors on this are wonderful it definitely is a conversation piece.
Maybe post it in the Asian antiques section too, and even though you say there's not much of a mark on the base, I would still post a pic of the entire base
