Round dish with cattail border 1878

This ceramic dish, created by Emile Gambut in 1878, is a striking example of 19th-century decorative arts. The round dish features a highly detailed, three-dimensional scene of a crayfish, frog, and lizards amidst a border of cattail reeds. The intricate modeling and vibrant green and brown glazes bring the natural world to life. This artwork is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
