AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Large Vintage Hand-Painted Ceramic Fish Platter – Mid-Century Modern – 46cm
An impressive, oversized oval ceramic serving platter featuring a hand-painted central motif of a freshwater fish (consistent with a Barbel or similar species, characterized by its distinctive whiskers/barbels).
The platter is finished with a vibrant, wide blue brushstroke border that creates a dynamic "water-like" effect. Its large scale and expressive, modernist style make it suitable as both a functional serving piece for seafood or as a striking decorative wall display.
• Period: Mid-20th Century (approx. 1950–1970).
• Origin: Likely European (attributed to French or Italian workshops such as Vallauris or similar regional ceramic centers).
• Material: Glazed ceramic / Earthenware.
• Technique: Hand-painted central illustration with a broad brushstroke decorative rim.
• Markings: None (unmarked).
Dimensions
• Length: 46 cm
• Width: 38 cm
• Height: 4 cm
Condition: Good condition. Small baking fault (see photo)
The lot will be carefully packaged and sent by registered and insured post with a track and trace number. It can also be collected from Amsterdam, The Netherlands
