Colapesce Pesci Gialli Decorative Plate #2

This superb decorative plate in glazed red clay belongs to the Colapesce Collection, series inspired by a Sicilian popular legend narrating the story of a half-man half-fish creature who sacrificed his life to transform his body into the shaft of one of the columns sustaining the island and indeed giving up his life. The plate encapsulates the allure of the underwater world with its enthralling, hand-painted design that stands out for the echanting motif of a sinuous yellow fish.
