Colapesce Code Decorative Plate #3

Traditional marine subjects and artisan work blend in this striking decorative plate fashioned of glazed red clay and entirely painted by hand. The piece boasts a central section of shells emerging from a midnight-blue background encircled by a sunburst motif of fish tails ("code" in Italian). This unique design is part of the Colapesce Collection, a ceramic series drawing insiration from a Sicilian legend narrating about a half-man, half-fish creature who sacrificed his own life to save his beloved homeland.
