The sweetest plique-a-jour enamel on glass miniature bowl decorated with adorable goldfish. Includes a rosewood stand.
Plique-a-jour (French for "letting in daylight") is a vitreous enameling technique where the enamel is applied in cells, similar to cloisonne, but with no backing in the final product, so light can shine through the transparent or translucent enamel. It is, in effect, a miniature version of stained-glass and is considered very challenging technically, with high time consumption (up to 4 months per item).
