About the Item

Wall-mounted ceramic sculpture depicting a stylized fish, mounted on a wooden plaque. The glazed surface shows rich shades of brown and black, creating a beautiful contrast between gloss and depth. This unique piece reflects the modernist aesthetic of the 1950s–1960s, when ceramic artists explored pure lines and organic, symbolic forms inspired by nature. The fish motif, treated here in an abstract way, recalls both Mediterranean art and postwar artistic craftsmanship. A hook on the back allows for easy hanging. A decorative artwork with strong visual presence — perfect for a mid-century interior or a curated ceramic art collection.
