Fish hand-painted porcelain dinner plates (set of 2)

Araceli of Casa Adams found her muse along the shorelines of her husband’s family home in Lake Macquarie. She works from her Sydney-based studio – aptly named Coconut Crab – where she crafts and paints species-specific porcelain by hand. Each piece is designed to spread the word about marine conservation, with watercolour-like glazes mirroring the varied palette of the underwater world. These only-at-ABASK plates spotlight an old wife (enoplosus armatus), which is endemic to the Great Southern Reef, and a southern spotted opah (lampris australensis) from the cold waters of the southern hemisphere.
