Colapesce Pesci Gialli Decorative Plate #3

This splendid decorative plate in fine red clay is distinguished for its marvelous, hand-painted decorations displaying a sunburst motif of yellow fish emerging from a turquoise background and enveloping the central section painted in shaded blue. The maritime motifs are the distinguishing feature of the Colapesce Collection which is inspired by the Sicilian legend about a half-human, half-fish creature who gave up his life to physically sustain his native island.
