The application
A figurative component, up close.
The fish’s skin carries fine relief, while its fins and head show larger changes in height. Light and dark tones alternate across the surface.
The fish tap and tail-fin handle are part of the same design. The product photograph shows the fish-shaped cast component on its own, with its outline and relief clearly visible.

Patterns for the handles
The tail-fin handle patterns are grouped on a casting tree before the ceramic mould is made. The ceramic fish mould
The ceramic shell around the fish pattern reveals the body shape and attached casting channels. Cast components before assembly
