This striking vintage ceramic dish features a highly detailed, sculptural design of an octopus clinging to the head of a large fish, finished in a rich multi-toned green and blue drip glaze. Measuring 31.5cm long by 13cm wide, the piece showcases classic mid-century Japanese novelty aesthetics with embossed scale textures and a hollowed back for use as a tray or decorative bowl. Based on the provided images, the item appears to be in good vintage condition with its original "Japan" sticker still intact on the underside; and the glaze remains vibrant.
