Jabula | Nene - Whimsical Fish

Coral, Sage & Teal on Parchment

This exuberantly surreal design is a tribute to a beloved legendary Ardmore artist whose lovingly hand-painted decoration helped to define the early Ardmore aesthetic.

Nene is based on an iconic vase whose decoration creates a whimsical world where billed fish sit alongside the striking Crowned Crane whose facial markings resembling a tribal mask. Leaves, feathers and fins are adorned with intricate patterns ensuring foliage and flowers put on a bold display.

Nene's colour palettes add a gentle ceramic warmth, with rosy pinks, corals and golden yellows alongside misty blues and leaf greens.
