Handcrafted in Rome during the 1980s to 1990s by the renowned silver atelier Ottaviani, this pair of life size small tropical fish figurines unites solid 925 sterling silver with hand applied red and green enamel. In Italian cultural tradition, fish are celebrated emblems of vitality, abundance, and prosperity, while late 20th century Roman silversmiths became widely recognized for pairing luminous colored enamels with precious metal wildlife forms. Preserved in its uncleaned state to protect the original Italian Lira price label, this rare duo offers authentic historical provenance for collectors of Italian silver and marine miniatures.
