I am obsessed with these little handmade ceramic sardines, complete with the hook in their mouth! Minnie meticulously crafts each one, and I love to pepper them about in the home. I have on my cocktail table in our living room lying in a trinket dish, and it's always an immediate conversation starter! Wash by hand. Over time, this glaze will start to crackle, adding to the charm of the piece, this is normal.
