Mug illustrated with a tench after Marcus Elieser Bloch

This white mug highlights a reproduction of a naturalistic plate dedicated to the tench, identified under the scientific name Cyprinus Tinca. The scientific composition highlights the finesse of the chromatic study with shades of brown and orange, accurately restoring the strength of the line and the anatomical details of the fish.

The pattern comes from the major work Ichtyologie, ou, Histoire naturelle, générale et particulière des poissons, published between 1785 and 1797 by the famous German physician and naturalist Marcus Elieser Bloch. This encyclopedic study illustrates the spirit of the Enlightenment and the concern for a rigorous inventory of the living world.

Ideal for daily use in the office as well as at home, this object will appeal to enthusiasts of naturalistic art and fishing. It brings a touch of scientific history and vintage elegance to your drink breaks.
