Hyperia Mermaid Serving Bowl
Half submerged in the water, Hyperia’s tail is engraved into the base of this marbled earthenware bowl. Cascades of turquoises, golds and blues flow like liquid across her skin and all over the bowl.
Mermaids symbolize renewal: Since mermaids are tied to a water element, they embody the revitalization that water brings. Water is vital to life and growth, and it is used in many cultures to symbolize birth and rebirth
In mythology and folklore, mermaids often represent a duality of nature—both seductive and dangerous. Their mesmerizing beauty and enchanting voices lure sailors to their doom, while in other stories, they rescue shipwrecked sailors or grant boons. Mermaids symbolize the allure of the unknown, the untamed power of nature, and the deep connection between humans and the sea. They also embody themes of transformation, sexuality, and the feminine mystique, highlighting the human fascination with that which is simultaneously captivating and elusive.
