Forest of California Ceramic Flying Fish Wall Sculpture – Handcrafted Mid-Century Coastal Art

A whimsical and beautifully crafted piece of mid-century ceramic art, this Flying Fish wall sculpture by Forest of California captures motion, texture, and elegance in a singular form. Sculpted in a stylized gliding pose, the fish features textured fins accented with hand-applied gold and white detailing, creating a shimmering effect against the dark gray body.

The piece is enhanced by vivid pink inset eyes and finished with a smooth, flat back for easy hanging. The underside bears the incised mark: "Forest of California USA", affirming its origin from this beloved postwar California ceramics studio known for quality artisan work.

Features:

  • Hand-painted ceramic with gold and white detailing
