Plate of porcelain, of sinuous irregular shape, and painted in purple, green and gilt with fishes and crabs swimming amongst seaweed and reeds.

Part of a fish service C.18 to M-1970.
This fish service can be associated with the sculptor and painter Louis Levallois and the painted Hermann Gradl. In the records of the Nymphenburg factory, there is a sketch for the gravy boat in the service signed by Levallois and dated 1903. He was employed at the factory from 1901 to 1906. It has been suggested by the factory authorities that the design for the painted decoration were done by Professor Gradl who was associated with the factory in a free-lance capacity.
