Round, cheerful and just a little bit smug, this ceramic fish knows exactly how charming it is.
This sculptural fish money bank comes from a private collection originally assembled on Malta and brought to a small shop in Konstanz, Germany.
The body is a plump rounded disc shape, glazed in steel blue with an olive green scaled belly rendered in relief. The fins, tail and facial details are all modelled in the clay, with dark navy accents in the grooves. Two green rimmed eyes give the fish a wonderfully alert expression. The coin slot sits discreetly on the side, and the opening for emptying sits on the base. A stopper is included.
It displays beautifully from multiple angles, front, side and three-quarter view alike.
The fish measures approximately 13.5 cm long, 11 cm tall and 7 cm wide (5.3 × 4.3 × 2.8 inches) and weighs 220 g.
More Maltese ceramics from this same collection are available in my shop, do have a browse!
Color may vary on your screen (slightly dark or lighter, not a completely different color)
Some lifestyle or atmospheric images in this listing may be created with digital mockups, so small variations can occur. Please check my original product photos for the exact item you will receive.
All my items are vintage. Please zoom in on the photos to review closely and expect there to be slight imperfections or signs of age. I point out anything that would not be attributed to normal wear
Due to small business status according to German tax legislation §19 UStG, VAT is not shown on the invoice.
Deutsche Zusammenfassung:
Dieser rundliche Keramikfisch aus einer Privatsammlung von Malta ist ein echter Hingucker: Mit seinem olivgrünen Schuppenkörper in Relief, stahlblauer Glasur und zwei wachsamen grünen Augen hat er eine Menge Charakter. Der Münzschlitz befindet sich diskret an der Seite, die Entleerungsöffnung auf der Unterseite. Ein Stopfen ist nicht dabei. Ein charmantes Sammlerstück aus den 1960er Jahren in sehr gutem Vintage-Zustand.
