This is a really unusual set of six vintage, Limoges porcelain, fish plates, and matching trout platter. It is rare to find a set so complete and undamaged. They are very collectible and an ideal gift for fish chefs.
Elegant and subtly understated, the plates are large, measuring 27cms/ 10½" diameter. They each weigh 500gms/ 1.1lbs. The platter measures 41cms/ 16¼" x 27.5cms/ 10¾", and weighs 1.4kgs/ 3 lbs. In amazing, pristine, condition, with no chips, scratches or cracks, they all have the "Porcelaine de Limoges" mark on the undersides.
There are six different fish designs on the plates, the illustrations are of freshwater fish, such as Trout and Carp, swimming amongst reeds in lakes/rivers. The colours are muted, subtle greens and grey/blues. The fish are accurately represented in browns and yellowy/greens, with spots and the odd hint of pink on the undersides. The scales and fins of the fish have been "picked out" in fine detail with delicate strokes of white glaze. The illustration on the platter shows a large Trout, with a shrimp and some sea snails in the design.
Perfect for fish lovers the world over these would make a truly original present for anyone who loves fishing and cooking fresh water fish.
