The carp is made of porcelain at the Italian ceramics workshop Ceramiche F.L. Orgia, where each fish is hand-painted using traditional glazing techniques. The orange and red shades blend into each other, and no two fish are alike — subtle differences in color intensity and brush strokes are a natural part of the craftsmanship. The figure has a hanging hook on the back but can also stand steadily on a shelf or dresser.
The carp measures 39 cm from mouth to tail fin and weighs around 400 grams. The porcelain is fired at a high temperature, making the surface hard and durable, but it should still be handled like ceramics — avoid dropping it on hard floors.
Care and maintenance
Dust off with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, you can use a slightly damp cloth, but avoid soaking the figure in water or using cleaning agents, as this may affect the glaze.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a hand-painted and a printed ceramic fish?
Hand-painted figures like this carp show visible brush strokes and natural variations in color intensity because each fish is individually painted by a ceramic artist. Printed or decal-decorated figures have uniform, machine-applied patterns without variation.
Can I hang the carp fish outdoors?
No, the porcelain is not frost-resistant and will crack in freezing temperatures. Additionally, rain and sunlight can fade the hand-painted glazes over time. Keep the figure indoors.
What weight nail should I use to hang the fish?
The fish weighs about 400 grams, so a standard picture nail or screw that can hold 1-2 kg is more than enough. Make sure to hit a solid wall or use a wall plug if the wall is hollow.
Is a ceramic carp fish a good gift for someone turning 50?
Yes, if the person enjoys colorful, handmade items or has a collection of ceramics or animal figures. The carp has a playful, artistic character that makes it a thoughtful gift for someone who appreciates Italian craftsmanship.
Why is the carp a popular motif in ceramics?
The carp symbolizes strength and perseverance in many cultures, especially in Japan (koi carp). In Italian ceramic tradition, fish are often used as decorative motifs on plates and wall plaques because their dynamic shape works well with clay and glaze.

Most of my products are handmade or hand-painted. This means that there may be variations in color, finish, and minor imperfections. These variations are a natural part of the handmade look and make each product unique. Minor differences are therefore not considered defects.
