Jae of California - Complete Vintage 1955 Turquoise Koi Fish Ceramic Lazy Susan

Description

Jae of California - Complete Vintage 1955 Turquoise Koi Fish Ceramic Lazy Susan. Condition is Used.
Ceramic elements are in near-mint condition. No chips or cracks on either the fish dishes or the dip bowl. A couple of white glaze color-miss areas on the "feet" under two of the fish, original to the piece - see the sample in image #6  - plus a small rubbed/rough area on the bottom of one of the feet similar to the small rubbed/rough area on the underside edge of the longer fin of ones of the fish - see image #7. The overall color variations of the surface are original and normal for this glazing technique. It's in really fabulous condition for a 65-year old serving piece!
The lazy-susan turntable - original to the piece, appears to have been stored on its edge for years, and the painted surface has been chipped and rubbed off on one side. The turntable could be used as-is - because you don't notice the edge with the fish bowls installed - or you could retouch the paint or over-paint the turntable.  See the final image.
We've held this storage for the last 15 years or so, planning to use it someday in a an MCM interior. We ended up going in a different direction, so it's time to let it go.
