Description from the seller
Large Handmade Metal Fish Lantern (62 cm) – Colorful Garden Decoration.
A beautiful, large, and characterful fish lantern made from hand-painted recycled metal. This striking sculpture, commonly nicknamed the 'Picasso fish' due to its vibrant and artistic color usage, is an absolute eye-catcher for both indoors and outdoors.
The fish is handcrafted and features nicely punched scales. On the side/back there is a small door where a tealight or candle can be placed. As it gets dark, this creates a cozy and unique lighting effect in the garden, on the terrace, or on the veranda.
The piece has hung outdoors, which has resulted in a beautiful natural patina and a well-worn vintage look (crackling in the paint and light rust). This enhances the authentic, handmade character of the piece.

Seller's Story
If something moves me, I buy it. It’s that simple, really. Since 2008 I scour here and abroad, always looking for that one object with a soul. Whether it’s an ancient antique piece or modern design: if it radiates craftsmanship and character, I’m hooked. I enjoy giving these finds a new home. Take a look around, and I hope my passion for quality touches you as well.
