About the Item

A very special studio art ceramic pottery sculpture of two - perhaps lesbian - mermaids sharing a secret, signed, mid twentieth century. This unique sculpture also doubles as a catchall or trinket dish, with each mermaid tale creating a nifty place for one’s jewels. Part glazed, part raw clay, this piece boasts tones of sand, sienna, and cerulean. In repose upon a gossip bench, one dark-haired siren whispers a secret to a fair-haired siren who gazes back in delight - not least since her left breast is also being fondled. An incredibly unique piece of studio art, signed on verso of sculpture. Pick up in central west Los Angeles or we ship worldwide, and please don’t forget to “see more from this seller” for more unique antiques!
