i have a set 5 dishes made in japan with no markings on them , they are identified as essential dish’s according to the brochure that was given to me with them. they are about 6″ x 4″ maybe 3/16″ thick, top layer maybe 1/16″.
I have searched on the internet for information on them to no avail .
the company capishell is not found on the internet neither.
attached are some pictures

any help in directing me in the right direction for more info and maybe value would be greatly appreciated
Well,, my friend couldn`t read it !! Are you in the USA ?? If so,, I would take the brochure to any Japanese market and ask if someone there can read it !! I know many do not speak Japanese but some of the older generation probably can tell what it says !! Mid century there were many Japanese imports and a lot of the companies were small and are not in business today !! That makes finding them almost impossible since keeping records was not a priority !!
Capishell may not be a company name at all since these are made of Capiz Shell Which is frequently written as capishell !! These shells were a popular hobby craft item in many areas of Asia !!
