Long Description and Pictures (jpg, gif, png): 

No idea of the intended use of this piece. The bowl portion by itself would make a very nice serving dish, but the removable center item has me intrigued - I cannot imagine what its purpose is. It has eight holes that go all the way through and the critter in the middle appears to be a fish.
