This set of nine whimsical French art deco “Kissing Fish” knife rests was designed in 1916 by Edouard Marcel Sandoz (1881 – 1971) for the Haviland Limoges Porcelain Company. The set consists of four blue rests, three yellow rests and two green rests. Known as “Les Porte-Couteau Poisson” they are number 30 in the company literature and pictured on pages 137 and 62-63 in Les Creations en Porcelaine d’Edouard Marcel Sandoz” by Jean Segonds. Each knife rest is 4” long and is in excellent condition.
