Description

BIG FISH TILE PANEL--TOP ROW, SECOND FROM RIGHT Color: Brown; Blue; Yellow A square tile from the "Big Fish" panel, produced as an artist's model by RTK Studios, ca. 1990s. The piece, made from the black-line technique, has a brown border at the top. Much of the rest of the piece is of the sky with some slight variation in glaze colors to distinguish clouds from the sky. At the center is the top portion of a fish, in shades of blue, suspended from a brown fishing rod, which is partially visible to the right, which is, in turn, held by a man, who is also in shades of brown and partially visible at the far lower right. This the top row, second tile from the right in the 15-piece panel, which was in preparation for the final product installed along the Via Casino in Avalon, Catalina Island. With little indication of wear or damage, the object is in good condition.
