I have a large Asian style bowl (14″ diameter and 5 1/2″ H) that I am trying identify. It belonged to a friend’s mother so I know that it is older, but cannot locate any identifying marks on it. Any help would be much appreciated!

The bowl you have is a Japanese import !! From looking at the foot of the bowl my opinion is about 1950 to 1970 or that era !! The foot shows little age !! Probably from an import shop !! Since these were simply made for sale in the US and other countries no real way to tell which of the factories in Japan made it !! The Koi fish in the center symbolize luck, prosperity and good fortune !! The lotus flower on the outside is for enlightenment !! It would have had a stick on label that is long gone !!

Just saw this! Thanks for your help. It is a lovely piece. I assume that it is not worth a great deal though.
