Wedgwood Majolica Plate: A Fisherman Gathering Shellfish

A meticulously crafted plate depicts an intricate scene of a fisherman in historical attire harvesting shellfish from the sea using a rake-like tool while standing waist-deep water. In the background is a calm ocean hosting a small sailboat under a sky painted with soft blue hues and wispy clouds. Surrounding this central motif are richly detailed seashells including scallops and conical snails set against seaweed designs that frame the entire composition within a wide border.
