This 8-piece service includes charming fish-shaped pieces including a large serving platter and lidded tureen accompanied by a pair of narrow fish bowls, a pair of wider fish bowls, and a set of two small fish plates which are from a different set but have a similar style and are stamped Vallauris underneath.
