Cobalt Fish is a handmade ceramic dagger by Hannah Banciella. It belongs to The Fire Eaters artworks, created during the inaugural Feria Clandestina Artists Residency alongside Banciella's tableware collection Marry the Mundane to the Sacred, titled after a line from Robin Wall Kimmerer's Braiding Sweetgrass. Sea life, stars, and ceremony run through her work.
Its hilt is a fish leaping upward, fins flaring into the crossguard, with a small starfish where hilt meets blade. The long, rippled blade and the whole form are glazed in iridescent cobalt that shifts to violet and teal in the light. Made to hang on the wall.
Handmade glazed ceramic. One of a kind. Created in Miami, 2026.
