De Simone's work captured the attention of Pablo Picasso, who admired the Italian artist's ability to transform traditional pottery into vibrant, expressive art.
The circular format beautifully frames the central fisherman composition, rendered with de Simone's characteristic spontaneity and warmth. The rich Mediterranean palette and lively brushwork evoke the spirit of coastal Sicily, where fishing has been a way of life for generations. This piece carries all the hallmarks of de Simone's celebrated studio work from his Palermo workshop.

Ideal for wall display as part of a curated plate arrangement or as a standalone accent piece. Collectors of Mid-Century Italian ceramics, Picasso-era decorative arts, and Mediterranean folk art will appreciate this charming example of de Simone's sought-after work. Display in a kitchen, dining room, or living space where its cheerful energy can be enjoyed.
