Harlequin Filefish - Small Platter
This small platter depicts a Harlequin Filefish (Oxymonacanthus longirostris), a coral reef dweller widespread across the Indo-Pacific. It shelters amongst branches of Acropora corals at night, as it not only resembles coral branches, but it also smells like them, enabling the filefish to remain undetected by nocturnal predators.
The platter is handmade with Australian porcelain and hand painted with watercolour-like underglazes. As with all handmade objects, it may have some irregularities which contribute to its unique nature. It is fully functional and can we washed in the dishwasher, though I would recommend not putting in the microwave or oven as the abrupt changes in temperature might crack the clay.
The platter measures 22cm long, 11cm wide and about 2cm high and comes in its own recycled cardboard gift box. You will be sent a platter chosen at random from the various available.
By purchasing this item, we will contribute to Carbon Positive Australia’s carbon sequestration projects by planting one native tree or shrub in Australia.
If you are local to Sydney, you can come and collect from our studio. Just use the code INNERWEST at checkout and we can natter the details over email.
