This sculptural bowl from Zimele Ceramics features a lively pair of kingfishers perched among sculpted reeds and flowering branches, evoking the lush riverbanks of southern Africa. Hand-sculpted and painted in KwaZulu-Natal, each kingfisher is carefully modeled with bright blue wings, warm orange chests, and alert expressions—capturing the bird’s iconic beauty and precision. The rim of the bowl blooms with three-dimensional foliage, while the open interior allows light to cast dynamic shadows through the raised forms. Every feather, leaf, and petal is painted by hand, showcasing the detailed craftsmanship and storytelling that define Zimele’s work. This one-of-a-kind piece functions as both a vessel and a sculptural celebration of the African wetlands and their vibrant birdlife.
