Vintage Hand-Painted Ceramic Lobster Serving Dish

About the Item

This divided lobster serving dish is among the best of the crustacean serving-pieces genre I've seen! The scale, detail, and color nuances are thoughtfully designed and crafted. The serving bowls themselves are made to look like three lettuce leaves, with the lobster resting comfortably atop them. It is well weighted and balanced. The lobster itself can be used as a handle to pick up and move the dish about. As a divided serving bowl (3 compartments), this piece is terrific for appetizers or tapas. It was handcrafted in Portugal as part of a limited production series. It's in perfect condition. A definite conversation piece and collector's item! If you like this, you may also be interested in the Lobster Soup Tureen, also found here in the Storied Loot collection.
