Blue Fish

This colorful, picturesque handcrafted little bas-relief depicts a blue fish in the sea, and it is inspired by the spectacular mosaic pavement in the Cathedral of Aquileia, in Northern Italy. One of the most beautiful scenes represented in this mosaic, the oldest and largest in Western Christianity, is that of the Fishing Cupids, in which many angels catch fish from the blue sea. The Blue Fish modeled by Ithaca is one of the many sea creatures depicted on this ancient, astonishing mosaic. Aquileia, Basilica di Santa Maria Assunta, IV century A.D.

Given its double firing at about 1000° C, the sculpture can be placed outside and won't be damaged by sun, cold, rain or ice.
