Today in coelacanth collecting!

I've just picked up this amazing full-sized plate created to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the discovery of the coelacanth!

It's from the JLB Smith Institute of Ichthyology, named after J.L.B. Smith, who was the ichthyologist that identified Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer's mysterious fish as a coelacanth. The JLB Smith Institute is now the South African Institute for Aquatic Biodiversity, and has the African Coelacanth Ecosystem Programme Marine Platform, a collection of equipment and boats to help scientists study coelacanths.

This is much bigger than my Wedgwood coelacanth plate, but since it was under £10 from eBay, I am not complaining.

Just look at that little face!

And is this a coelacanth coat of arms? Amazing!

my “toxic”? trait is whenever i fixate on something my immediate reaction is to take myself to the pottery painting place near my house and paint it on a plate or a mug or a coaster. literally all of the plates in my house are like this

#my art #pizza tower #peppino spaghetti #gustavo pizza tower #brick the rat #brick pizza tower #pepstavo #i genuinely torment my family with this #you want to keep your drink from spilling on the table? BOOM GAY OLD MEN! #you want to put a snack ona plate? NOPE YOU ARE PUTTING IT DIRECTLY ON THIS STUPID RATS FACE!!!!!! #someone ask me about my plate collection i dare you #these are really not very good by the way especially the coasters because it is so insanely difficult to do #i am not by any means a painter lol #also soz i edited this after making it and changed the gus and brick images cuz the lighting annoyed me tehee

I present to you the work of another painter of fish plates. Y’know how you use ‘scare quotes’ for various purposes, including indicating that you’re not actually sure about The Thing?

Well, this guy was so bad at whatever he was painting that we call him…

The ‘tadpole’ painter:

Here’s another example:

This one was sold as part of the Graham Geddes collection at Bonham’s auction house in 2008 for £2,040.

They describe it as ‘three fish including a wrasse with dorsal spines, an angler-fish, the rounded body with multiple black dots, two large round eyes with pupils, an open mouth with teeth bared, and a ray with pointed face, the body with multiple black dots’.

Which like… bold fucking move missing out the fact that they have legs. Though I can’t say I envy whoever had to write the description.

#first one is: #from ‘Greek red-figure fish-plates by Ian McPhee and A D Trendal #from the Macinagrossa collection in Bari #which I think is a private collection? #Trendall and McPhee refer to him as ‘a very minor artist’. #v rude. #imagine the auctioneer writing the description like ‘sooooo… uh. anyone know what this is supposed to be?’ #and a colleague just pointing out the fact that it’s the ‘tadpole’ painter and shrugging apologetically #because it was looted we do not know where it originally came from #(though many were found in tombs) #anyway. my personal head cannon - and I cannot emphasise enough that I have literally no evidence for this. it is just a flight of fancy #is that someone has to bring their child to work for a few days #and just let their kid play around and decorate plates that were write-offs for one reason or another #and some kid just sat their happily painting their crude little fish on these plates whilst their dad worked away #Fischteller #fish plates #tagamemnon

Three stunning bottles from Rothenstein's Déjà Vu Collection: David and Venus, the original Déjà Vu (specially gold-plated), and Déjà Vu Rodin

#dropping back in because i am obsessed with the buddha sex perfume #i wish i knew more about it fragrantica says it was launched in 1886 but i kind of doubt that #theres two more in the collection #deja vu 2 which resembles the titanic pose #and deja vu gay which resembles deja vu 2 but. gay #it doesnt look as pretty from the pictures ive found but you can get it for 78 euros on dutch amazon #gold plated version might smooth over the one guys weird face and make it look better. but i found no good pictures of it #perfume #sculpture
