Colapesce Set of 6 Decorative Plates #3

This splendid set in glazed red clay comprising six decorative plates stands out for its hand-painted decorations rendered in vibrant enamels. Each plate depicts a sunburst, marine-inspired motif celebrating the legend behind the Colapesce Collection. This Sicilian legend is about a boy who is half-human, half-fish who, upon realizing that one of the columns sustaining the island was about to crack, sacrificed his life to prevent it from sinking.
