ERoLaren Posted August 24, 2018 at 08:12 PM Report Posted August 24, 2018 at 08:12 PM Hello, I bought a lovely koi jardiniere today and am researching its history. The characters appear to be Chinese, but I could be wrong. If these are Chinese characters, can someone translate them for me? If not, do you know what language this is in? Thank you! Quote

edelweis Posted September 21, 2018 at 05:26 PM Report Posted September 21, 2018 at 05:26 PM @ERoLaren I'm confused. What is a koi jardiniere? Quote
889 Posted September 21, 2018 at 09:30 PM Report Posted September 21, 2018 at 09:30 PM Koi is Japanese for 金鱼, and jardiniere in this context refers to one of those big ceramic planters in the shape of a fishbowl, here decorated with goldfish. 1 Quote
