The elongated oval form centres a large fish moulded in pronounced relief, creating a sculptural presentation well suited to Mediterranean, coastal, French Country and farmhouse table settings.

The fish is extensively modelled with individually defined scales, fins and tail, giving the monochromatic surface considerable depth while allowing the raised decoration to remain the visual focus. Its long, narrow proportions make the platter particularly effective for presenting whole fish, seafood, appetisers or other serving arrangements, while its sculptural character also lends itself to kitchen, dining-room or beach-house display.

The underside is marked MADE IN ITALY, confirming Italian manufacture. At 3.7 lb, the platter has substantial physical presence while retaining the refined simplicity of traditional white Italian serving ware.
