    LARGE OVAL FISH PLATTER: The showstopper of the set, this substantial oval serving platter features a masterfully rendered Northern Pike swimming through cattails and reeds in rich naturalistic color. The scalloped border is accented with gilded Art Nouveau scrollwork at each cartouche point, and the reverse bears the red heraldic crown-and-shield maker's mark consistent with Austrian or Bohemian porcelain of the late 19th to early 20th century. A green handwritten inventory number 3136 appears on the reverse. Condition shows age-appropriate wear to the foot rim but the decoration remains vivid and striking.


    SET OF 11 FISH PLATES: Eleven individual fish plates, each decorated with a different freshwater fish species including trout, perch, carp, roach, and bream rendered in polychrome transfer print with hand-finish detail. Each plate features the same gilded Art Nouveau border scrollwork and matching scalloped rim profile as the platter, and all carry the identical red heraldic maker's mark on the reverse. One plate shows visible crazing lines to the glaze surface. The variety of fish subjects makes this set a visual delight for the table or display wall.


    LIDDED SAUCE TUREEN WITH COVER: A charming two-handled round sauce tureen complete with its fish-decorated domed lid, painted with a bold perch or bass image amid aquatic vegetation in the same palette as the plate set. The Art Nouveau gold scrollwork handles and border trim tie it cohesively to the larger service. The interior bowl is plain white and in excellent condition.


    GRAVY BOAT WITH ATTACHED UNDERPLATE AND PORCELAIN LADLE: The final flourish of this elegant fish service is a graceful sauce boat decorated with a vivid red-orange lobster and matching gilded Art Nouveau scrollwork, resting on an attached oval underplate with a fish motif on its rim. A delicate porcelain ladle with a gold-tipped handle accompanies the set. The reverse of the underplate bears the same red heraldic maker's mark confirming it belongs to this service. A wonderful and rarely complete surviving element of a Victorian fish dining set.
