This whimsical, fish-shaped pitcher is a modern reinterpretation of the "bummulo malandrino"; a pitcher from the Sicilian pottery tradition. Deftly handcrafted of ceramic and finished in glazes with a pleasant, soft, rough texture, the playful outer silhouette conceals a complex inner mechanism.
The pitcher must be filled from the base, by turning it upside-down. Then, once filled, simply re-position the pitcher upright to pour the liquid from the spout. It is painted with an airbrush using homemade enamels.
