Lucia Ware Black Ceramic Fish Planter Vase 2202

Glossy black and full of character, this Lucia Ware fish planter in the style 2202 form is one of the most striking colour variants in the range, the deep black glaze giving the sculptural fish form a bold, graphic presence that the coloured variants cannot match.

Produced by Lucia Ware, one of South Africa's most recognisable mid-century ceramic manufacturers, this style 2202 planter vase is modelled in a stylised fish form with an open-top section suited to small floral or plant arrangements. The glossy black glaze gives it a more formal, dramatic character than the hand-painted cream or burgundy variants, making it a strong accent piece in monochrome displays or curated South African ceramic collections. Lucia Ware fish planters are among the most collectible novelty forms from the manufacturer's range, and the black glaze variant is particularly sought after. This example is in visible condition as shown in the images.
