Ceramic mug Trout Salmo Fario after Marcus Elieser Bloch

This ceramic mug features a careful reproduction of a chromatic and naturalistic study depicting the trout (Salmo Fario). Taken from Marcus Elieser Bloch's famous ichthyology treatise, the illustration displays a rigorous design blending shades of brown, yellow, and red, restoring the texture and anatomical finesse of the fish with remarkable scientific precision.

The original plate comes from the major work Ichthyologie, ou, Histoire naturelle, générale et particulière des poissons, published between 1785 and 1797. Bloch's work is part of the great 18th-century encyclopedic movement, aiming to inventory aquatic species with exceptional artistic and documentary rigor.

Designed for daily use, this mug combines the practicality of an everyday object with the charm of antique prints. It constitutes an elegant decorative item for enthusiasts of fishing, natural history, and vintage illustrations.
