Or maybe "Forbidden Fruit Bowl?"

This week's fish cup (gourami)

Dwarf gourami are in the cup (2 males) and pygmy gourami are on the saucer. I had wanted to paint a male and female dwarf gourami pair, but the female's coloration is a subtle silvery color. Subtlety is difficult with only 20 underglaze colors!

These are actually test pieces. I want to try a new glaze layering combination.
