Lucia Ware Black Ceramic Fish Planter Vase IH08

Compact, glossy black, and full of the playful character that makes Lucia Ware fish planters so collectible, this IH08 form is the smaller of the two Lucia Ware fish planter models, and in the black glaze it has a crisp, graphic quality that makes it a strong accent piece in any display.

Produced by Lucia Ware, one of South Africa's most recognisable mid-century ceramic manufacturers, this IH08 fish planter vase is modelled in a compact stylised fish form with an open-top section suited to small floral or plant arrangements. The glossy black glaze gives it a bold, clean character that works well alongside the larger style 2202 fish planters or as a standalone novelty piece in a curated South African ceramic collection. Lucia Ware fish planters in any colourway are actively collected as examples of South African mid-century ceramic design, and the IH08 form in black is among the more compact and versatile of the range. This example is in visible condition as shown in the images.
