The sculptural form has bold, stylized fins and a plump body with shimmering iridescent tones that shift from bronze and copper to deep greens and charcoals under the light, accented by contrasting cream “scale” details. Finished with GP’s impressed maker’s mark to the underside, it is a beautiful example of collectible Italian studio pottery with strong mid-century modern and coastal appeal.

Perfect as a statement piece on a console, bookshelf, or credenza, this vintage fish works seamlessly in eclectic, modern, coastal, and Hollywood Regency interiors. Pair it with other Deruta or Italian art pottery for a curated vignette, or let it stand alone as a conversation-starting piece of ceramic art. See less
