This is a striking and whimsical fish-shaped serving piece, crafted in France, as indicated by the hallmark stamped into the metal. The platter itself is a combination of richly toned wood and sculpted metal elements. The body of the fish forms the main serving surface, made of a smooth, dark-stained wood bordered by a recessed groove. At either end, the fish’s head and tail are finely cast in silver-toned metal, highly detailed with scales, fins, and facial features. The craftsmanship suggests a blend of decorative and functional purpose, ideal for serving seafood or as a statement charcuterie board. The mark on the underside further confirms its French origin and includes a distinct maker’s logo, The manufacturing label in the image says “MADE IN FRANCE” and features a distinctive logo on the left side. The logo looks like a stylized combination of letters, possibly “FM” or “MF”, inside a shield-like shape. This is the logo of Foundries du Lyonnais (Fonderie de Lyon), a French foundry that has supplied cast components for many items.
This piece brings a sense of novelty and elegance, ideal for entertaining or display in a refined kitchen or dining area. See less
