Colapesce Calamari Decorative Plate #3

Authentic marine atmopheres are celebrated in this decorative red clay plate part of the Colapesce Collection, a series inspired by the Sicilian legend about a half-man, half-fish creature who gave up his life to save his native island from sinking. An hand-painted motif of coral-hued squids ("calamari" in Italian) stands out from the background harmonzing with the depp-blue and subtle turquoise details for a result of rare aesthetic value.
