This piece is full of dynamism, verve and compelling narrative possibilities. It is sure to delight discerning collectors of idiosyncratic modernist objects, fishing and maritime enthusiasts, and everyone with a penchant for the beautiful and unusual. it would be a winning addition to any style of interior from classic Mid Century Modern to contemporary. The dish is in excellent vintage condition. Dimensions: Height: 3.75" x Width: 7.75" x Depth: 5.25".
