Offering a goofy smile, a whimsical green fish swims among the bubbles in this piece of ceramic wall art from Mexico. Maria Isabel Cruz creates this piece of home decor, crafted using the centuries-old dry rope technique, in which a wax mixture made of magnesium oxide and fat are applied to the outlines of the image or motif prior to glazing. The wax mixture creates a barrier that keeps the different fill colours in the design separate during firing, before burning off to reveal the blackened ceramic beneath. A length of nylon cord on the back provides for easy hanging.

I purchased eight of Marias plates to make a grouping and I have been thrilled with each one. I love the whimsical and unique characters she creates. All eight of the ones I chose are animals and this crazy, goofy fish is a great addition to the group. He is smaller than some of the other plates, so will provide a nice variety. He is excellent. Many thanks to Maria and to Novica!
