Vintage herring pot fish, fish soup tureen, mid century fish terrine, order lidded fish dish, majolica vintage soup tureen, ceramic fish terrine

Very nice ceramic herring pot fish fish terrine with lid.
I would date the terrine to the 50s (but maybe it's older).
There are many designs of these herring pots. There was a time when they were represented in almost all German households.
This Herring pot from the quality manufacturer Zeller Keramik has a particularly beautiful order design. The body is designed like a fish basket. The format is also unusually shaped and large.
If you don't need it in its actual function, just use it as a special storage box.
I have a similar box in the bathroom for this and that - the fish and water - that fits.

condition
(very) good vintage condition
I would like to point out the exceptionally good condition inside the terrine
There is a small chip on the fish's fin ( it doesn't matter- my opinion) -last picture
The glaze shows normal age-related craquelure
