Handcrafted in rome, italy during the 1980s to 1990s by prestige silversmith ottaviani in sterling silver 925, it features red enamel detailing on the larger fish and green enamel accents on the smaller companion fish.

in late twentieth century italian silver craftsmanship, the house of ottaviani in rome produced highly detailed figurative works adorned with rich enamel accents and realistic scale textures.
