Colapesce Conchiglie Decorative Plate #2

This captivating decorative plate in glazed red clay belongs to the Colapesce Collection, a series inspired by a Sicilian popular legend about a half-man, half-fish creature who sacrificed his life to prevent the island from sinking when one of the supporting columns is about to crumble down. The deftly hand-painted decoration depicts four giant banded tulips alternating with sharp coral-hued triangles on a midnight-blue background.
