Ardmore Ceramics. Somandla Ntshalintshali hand coiled this rhythmical masterwork for ‘The Great Zambezi’ collection. Zinhle Nene - known at Ardmore as the “Queen of the Crocodile” because she has mastered the painting of every scale of these reptiles - has embellished the vase with her fine brush and sgraffito needle, creating crocodile-textured patterns across the surface.
