Handcrafted in glazed ceramic, the piece captures Londi’s distinctive artistic language: whimsical yet refined, modern yet rooted in tradition. Its deep marine blue glaze, enriched with subtle turquoise and teal reflections, evokes the shimmering movement of the sea. The body, rounded and expressive, is animated by incised scale motifs and the artist’s unmistakable sculptural detailing.

It has been meticulously cared for by its previous owner, maintaining its original glossy finish and vivid coloration.
