📖 Detailed description

An iconic design from the 1960s–1970s

This free-form cheese platter depicts a stylized fish with remarkable artisanal finishes. The outer border features a very bright, glossy turquoise enamel, while the fish's body is adorned with meticulous reactive glazes: shades of ochre, fiery red, midnight blue, and frothy white foam effects characteristic of Côte d'Azur ceramics and mid-20th century French folk art.
