About the Item

Sumptuous porcelain fish service, consisting of a serving platter and six matching plates, all hand-painted. This magnificent set is adorned with intricate aquatic scenes, featuring fish swimming in a natural setting of aquatic flowers. The plates and platter are delicately decorated with pastel colors, particularly shades of pink, blue, and violet, evoking a soft and elegant atmosphere. Each piece is unique, showcasing different compositions where the fish appear to glide harmoniously among aquatic plants. The edges of the plates and platter are richly decorated with embossed gold motifs, adding an extra touch of elegance to this already refined ensemble. The gold finishes around the rims highlight the exceptional craftsmanship and give the service a luxurious character. This fish service is an extraordinary piece, perfect for enhancing your table during refined dinners or as a collector's item. The delicate art of hand-painting and the quality of the porcelain reflect remarkable artisanal expertise. Add a touch of distinction to your meals with this service that combines both functionality and aesthetic beauty. "Le Grand Dépôt," founded by Émile Bourgeois in Paris at 21 Rue Drouot, was a key player in promoting French talents in porcelain and glassware at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. This grand store popularized decorative art pieces in European and global markets. E. Bourgeois (1832-1926), renowned for his expertise, contributed to the house’s reputation, which was awarded a silver medal at the 1900 Exposition Universelle. Pieces from Le Grand Dépôt are highly sought after by collectors today for their quality and refinement. Although one plate has a slight flaw, it neither diminishes its beauty nor its functionality.
