Dartmouth pottery koi carp supporting a shell-shaped dish/vase.

This lovely vase was made by Dartmouth Pottery (famous for its lidded jugs) and features a koi carp (or perhaps a dolphin) holding a shell-shaped dish with its tail. It is a nice decorative item, but you can also use it to hold soaps, sweets, potpourri, or perhaps a floral arrangement. The figurine and the dish are in good vintage condition, with no chips, cracks, or crazing. It measures approximately 18.5 cm high X 13 cm X 13 cm and weighs 420 g without packaging. A lovely item to enjoy in your home or to give as a gift.
