Product description
A rare and charming vintage Czechoslovakian earthenware fish service from the 1950s-1970s. Comprising six small dessert plates and a matching serving platter, it features an elegant fish shape inspired by the popular productions of Digoin or Sarreguemines from the same period. The decoration is spray-painted in delicate shades of blue on a creamy white background, with charming, sparkling eyes.
The plates measure 21.5 cm in maximum length (including the tail), 22 cm in maximum width (including the fins), with a usable diameter of 18.9 cm and a height of 2 cm. The platter measures 37 cm in total length (including the tail), 24 cm in maximum width (including the fins), and a usable width of 20 cm. Despite its age, the set is in very good overall condition, almost like new; one plate has a small, discreet hairline crack on the upper fin. There is slight natural cracking in the enamel on the platter and some plates, particularly on one of them, as well as very subtle wear to the glaze on some of the outer edges, possibly original. Very few traces of cutlery are visible. Approximately 200 to 250g per plate and 450g for the platter.
