OCTO-PORTHOLE by Tom Rooth, the porthole circa 1900

About the Item

This is a unique piece - the porthole dates to circa 1900, while the ceramic octopus (made and drawn by artist Tom Rooth) is contemporary. It's a great fusion of old and new, striking on any wall, any interior - and guaranteed to be the talking point of any collection. Signed and dated (on the suckers), and further signed, dated and inscribed (on the reverse)
