Story

The Austrians have been making sardine boxes like this since the 1800s, but this mid-century version brings a cleaner, more sculptural sensibility to the tradition.

White ribbed porcelain with delicate gold trim and that perfect anchovy-shaped handle. It's quirky without being kitsch, elegant without being stuffy. Use it as intended (for serving sardines or tinned fish at cocktail hour), or let it live on your desk holding paper clips and secrets.

The kind of object that makes people ask "where did you get that?"

Details

Likely Austrian, mid-20th century. Porcelain with gold trim and a painted fish handle.

Condition

Excellent vintage condition. Some gold wear on the base (standard for age and use). Otherwise pristine.
