Flying fish tumble and twist into crests of Art Deco waves. Soothingly, the fish shoals include vertical and horizontal line work as they disappear into the deep offering the mythical possibility that someone was opening and closing the bellows of an accordion. The fish jive in oceans of colour as they curl into a rolling geometric shoal where they release their own water bubbles which hang like ballroom glass balls over trapezoidal fins which dart like a thousand chevrons under and over the swirl.

Celebrity auctioneer and antiques expert, Eric Knowles, was immediately drawn to a trial of this design, with its highly distinct Art Deco overtones when it first emerged from the kiln. He immediately heralded the design as an exciting twist on traditional Art Deco design for all to admire.
