The Skull and Snakes Porcelain Bowl is a unique porcelain piece created by Marta Maria Trenti for Antikapratika.

Hand painted in deep cobalt blue on off-white German porcelain, the bowl presents a striking composition: a human skull surrounded by two snakes.

These symbols have long been associated with mortality, transformation, knowledge and renewal.  The imagery draws inspiration from tattoo culture, natural history illustration and neo-Victorian symbolism. As a result, the piece combines strong visual impact with a rich symbolic narrative.

Painted by hand on high-quality German porcelain. The bowl is finished with a transparent glaze and a real gold rim, adding contrast and depth. The result is a powerful visual tension between bold imagery and delicate craftsmanship, perfect for collectors who appreciate meaningful design.

This one-of-a-kind piece comes with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist.
