Vallauris-style double fish-shaped dish

This striking double dish in glazed ceramic depicts two fish arranged head-to-tail, each forming a separate compartment.
Its highly expressive design combines a deep green glaze with finely drawn scales and delicate gold accents highlighting the fins, eyes, and outlines.
The piece’s generous forms and stylized lines evoke French decorative ceramics in the Vallauris style.

The underside bears a small painted number but no manufacturer’s signature to precisely identify its origin.
