A brightly colored fish moves through a hand-painted waterside scene, its soft detail framed by an exuberant scalloped gold rim. This decorative plate balances the delicacy of landscape painting and the flourish of Victorian-era tableware.
Curator’s Notes
I love the contrast between a modest fish and such an elaborate gilt setting. I would display it as art rather than reserve it for a table.
