Gold trim borders frame each design, while ornate decorative patterns encircle the fish motifs on pristine white porcelain.
The service comprises 12 dinner plates measuring 23.5cm (9.25 inches) in diameter with 6 different fish designs - 2 plates per design - plus one large oval serving tray measuring 37cm x 26cm (14.5 x 10.25 inches).
