A large serving bowl painted with three stylised indigo fish arranged across a cream ground, surrounded by scattered leaf-like brushstrokes that suggest water and movement. Each fish is drawn in careful scale work with a confident outline — a quiet nod to the ceramics tradition of Mediterranean and North African coastal regions. A warm terracotta rim frames the composition.
Scaled for a dining table as a centrepiece for salads, bread or mezze, and equally effective propped on a shelf or mantel as a display plate. The indigo-and-cream palette pairs particularly well with natural wood, woven textures and simple linen.
Handmade in Tunis Village, Fayoum. See how it's made →
