Seahorse Bowl Coral For Three Dots And A Dash
in 16 collections
This is a bowl supported by three seahorses. Though the seahorse may appear as a cute little sea creature, in folklore it actually has a very powerful role. Seahorses represent eternal friendship, good luck, patience and persistence. In Europe, the seahorse carried the souls of deceased sailors, providing them safe passage and protection until they met their final destination. Around this bowl are strands of kelp and bubbles floating upward. The glaze is a wipe-away finish which gives good definition to Bai's sculpted details. This is the first collaboration between Tiki Farm and Bai Tiki. This is an orangish coral colored bowl marked for Three Dots And A Dash in Chicago, IL. There is also a pink and a green version of this bowl.
