Long Description
I was gifted these from a family friend from Vietnam who had this set of dishes from her family back home. She mentioned that they were old and handmade, and I am aware that her family was upper class. I am looking for the origin of these dishes and their possible value. Smallest plate is 7" across, small bowl is 81/2". The large plate is 10 1/2" across and the large scalloped serving bowl is 11 3/4" across. No markings on bottom. Appears to be white pottery underneath a ligher green glaze which has crazed. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Re: longquan celadon dishes from Vietnam
My husband and I were in Japan, living there and it was in 1985. I bought some with the two fish and same color. I was told the fish mean Happy Gathering. I'm married to an Asian. Same material. But don't remember, how much they cost and it's not Jade.
