Achille et Victor Barbizet - Majolica - Round aquatic dish

Attributed to Victor Barbizet and his son Achille.

Oval deep dish, very nice color and arrangement of fish, eel, snake, salamander, etc.

The style of scales on the fish as well as this deep blue correspond well to what we know of Victor and Achille Barbizet.
