This Spotty Trout Bowl has been hand thrown and painted by artist Steve Duffy and depicts a pair of iridescent trout swimming in a swirly cobalt blue sea.
Hand painted with under glaze colours and lustres, it gives the bowl a beautiful petrol like sheen as it catches the light. The resist method of decoration also gives an interesting speckled finish to this impressive piece.

Coming from a family with rich sea faring traditions, it perhaps not surprising that his work is imbued with strong coastal imagery.
