I doubt that they are old but any thoughts?
Thanks

Looks Japanese to me, but cannot tell how old it is.

Could be. The fish does not looks quite Chinese to me. I have not seen antique Japanese celadon in person, mostly newer pieces with porcelain bodies. Can't tell if the footrim was made to look old or it is indeed.

Strange decoration, I have never seen anything quite like these before Japanese or Chinese, Korean maybe.

The decoration I not typical Korean, I think. Also, I don't recall seing that clay color on Asian pieces.

I would like to point out that the fan decoration, and the bamboo leaves, are typical for Japanese decorations (not limited to ceramics). Whether it could be Korean I do not know.
