Portmeirion's iconic "The Compleat Angler" series is a masterclass in the traditional sporting style. This striking oval ceramic serving platter features a beautifully detailed, crisp biological illustration of the Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar), framed by a clean, minimalist dual-band green border.

Named after Izaak Walton's famous 17th-century book, "The Compleat Angler," on the joys of fishing, this collection brings a sophisticated, "curiosity cabinet," botanical aesthetic to the modern table. The textured detail on the salmon's scales and the soft naturalistic rendering of its riverbed habitat make it as much a piece of art as it is a functional serving tray.

This piece is perfect for a lakeside camp, a coastal dining room, or a rustic cabin. Complete with the authentic green backstamp on the reverse, it features a grand profile that looks stunning displayed on a plate rail or mounted as part of a gallery wall. It also makes an exceptional centerpiece for serving a family-style meal. See less
