Rare Sarreguemines fish service – 18 pieces
A very special French fish set in green glazed ceramic from Sarreguemines — a decorative and unusual dinnerware that makes table settings an experience.
The set consists of 18 pieces, including 14 fish plates, a large fish platter, a sculptural fish tureen with lid, and a fish-shaped gravy boat.
