It consists of a large oval fish dish accompanied by 12 flat plates. The plates have 6 separate fish sets, including the Koi carp, the crab, the turbot, the pike, the sea bream and the bar. Each fish representation seems to come to life on the plates, with patterns suggesting a fluid movement accentuated by water bubbles emanating from their mouths. A subtle drawing line highlights both fish and water movement. Each aquatic creature is delicately accompanied by a marine plant or algae.

The earthenware of an exceptionally brilliant black color gives the service a particular sophistication. This shine adds a touch of refinement to the whole, creating a remarkable visual presentation.

Practical and elegant, this Vallauris fish service offers a unique gastronomic experience, ideal for savoring your fish, seafood and crustaceans. Its distinctive design and artisanal quality make it a remarkable add to any table.
