Stunning, beautifully matched vintage pair of Noritake Fine Bone China Goldfish (Koi) figurines.Manufactured between 1967 and 1979, these exquisite mid-century modern pieces showcase Noritake\'s famous translucent fins and brilliant glossy orange-red hand-brushed glazed bodies over a pure white porcelain base.
This listing includes the highly desirable staggered \"swimming pair\" sizes:- Large Fish: Approx. 8 inches long- Small Fish: Approx. 6 inches long (features the original gold foil factory sticker intact!)
**Condition Details**Both figurines are in very good vintage condition with NO structural chips, cracks, or repairs to the incredibly delicate, paper-thin translucent fins or tails. As is common with these authentic 50+ year old glazes, there are a few tiny surface scratches/flea bites on the orange glaze that reveal the white bone china underneath (please see close-up photos for exact details). They display magnificently as a staggered set.
**Markings**Stamped on the underside with the official \"Noritake Bone China Japan\" logo alongside the registered trademark (®) symbol, dating this pair precisely to the late 1960s to 1970s export era. The smaller fish retains its rare, original gold foil \"Noritake Bone China\" sticker.Mid Century Japan Koi Fish Porcelain Retro Nippon
