Ceramic tile decorated with marine scene

Glazed and hand-decorated rectangular ceramic tile depicting an underwater scene populated by fish, jellyfish, shells, seaweed and corals. The composition, lively and richly detailed, unfolds horizontally with a naturalistic pictorial rendering and muted coloring, highlighting an illustrative style of modernist taste. The subject matter and decorative technique suggest post-World War II artistic production, traceable to Italian manufactures active between the 1950s and 1960s, particularly in the field of designer ceramics.
