Description
Fitz and Floyd produced the most colorful and whimsical pieces and this Trompe L'oeil lobster tureen will not disappoint. It appears to be a very rare find as only one other was found on the internet.
A large lobster holds court on the lid and is surrounded by greens and shells. The bowl is ribbed and has twisted asparagus handles. The ladle resembles coral.
A true gem from the "Fish Market " collection.
The piece is marked on the bottom.
Bowl is 5.25"h without the lid
Ladle is 10" long
Condition:
Alterations: Original Condition Unaltered
Imperfections: Some Imperfections
Condition Notes: The piece is in wonderful vintage condition. There is one flaw"¦ across the head of the lobster is a crack. As it was before our acquisition, we aren't sure of the details but is does not appear that it went all the way through. It actually could have been from firing during manufacture. It is difficult to see except upon close examination.
