Entry description
This blue lacquered dish is inspired by the visual harmony of nature’s forms and patterns, Yin and Yang and Zen philosophy. It encourages quiet contemplation and tranquility and being at one with the environment. The dish is hand formed, with polished goldfish and pond plant motifs on a textured background. Harmony in nature is intended for the art market.
