Modeled after an opened sardine tin, the piece transforms an everyday object into a highly decorative ceramic work. The rectangular form, lifted lid, and three detailed fish give the piece wit and dimension, while the layered glaze creates wonderful depth in tones of bronze, rust, gray, and soft blue.

The surface has the expressive, hand-worked character associated with studio pottery, with variations in glaze and texture that give the object its charm. Clever, sculptural, and beautifully made, this is a wonderful example of ceramic art with humor and presence.
