Mini Story

This striking hand-painted studio pottery dish features a bold lobster and starfish design, finished in vibrant coastal colours. Measuring an impressive 50 cm in length, the elongated organic form makes it an eye-catching decorative piece suited to wall display, shelving, or as a centrepiece.

Signed “Clardy Modinh” to the base or similar, the dish appears to be the work of an independent Australian studio potter working in a late-20th to early-21st century style inspired by mid-century coastal design. While the artist has not been positively identified, the quality of the decoration and scale of the piece give it strong decorative appeal.
