Lucie de Moyencourt FISH MEDIUM

10.5" Wide

Lucie’s love of ceramics making has rapidly grown in recent years, and she has since exhibited six sell-out shows and installations, with shells traveling to all corners of the globe to adorn many beautiful homes and spaces. Shellegance has also had fabulous international media coverage!

Although shells are the usual suspects, these fish were created to celebrate World Ocean Day. Some of the proceeds from the sale of these special fish from Shellegance was donated to I Am Water Foundation, who reflects the values of World Ocean Day quite nicely.

A note about pricing: I loved these ceramic fish and really wanted to share them with my customers. Because they were purchased at auction in South Africa, the final costs —combined with international shipping — were considerably higher than I had anticipated.

Each ceramic fish in this shop is unique. Lucie de Moyencourt loves improvising with her brushwork and colors and whimsically approaches each fish. The artist is given a chance to experiment with the complex and mystical mediums of Stoneware, Porcelain, Earthenware, Underglazes, Glazes, and sometimes also Lustre. You might see iterations and repeats in patterns and colors, but as each fish is handmade and hand-painted, all will be unique, making them highly collectible.

Each fish has a custom brass wire hanging device by wire artist George Magaso. The fish might look like plates, but do not be fooled; they are inferior performing plates! It is recommended to keep them as purely decorative wall-hanging ceramics.

Please note that the brass wire used for the hanging device is a one-bend wire (do not try to bend it twice, as it will snap). If you want to tilt your fish to a different angle, we recommend hanging it off the nail by the brass attachment and securing it with putty to your desired angle.
