Colapesce Calamari Decorative Plate #2

This decorative red clay plate stands out for its rich, hand-painted decorations rendered in a glamorous combination of pink and deep blue. It depicts a sunburst motif of blue squids ("calamari" in Italian) outlined by a matching, thin border. The plate design is part of the Colapesce Collection inspired by the Sicilian legend about a half-human, half-fish creature who, upon realizing that one of the columns sustaining the island was cracking, sacrificed himself to save the sinking island.
