Inscription: GO WITH A FAIR WIND AND A FOLLOWING TIDE

This mariner’s benediction was given to the captain and crew of a ship when leaving dock to wish them good fortune and a safe journey.
The design is based on a 19th century clipper in full sail from a stone carving found in the museum associated with the ruined Carmelite church in Lisbon. The church is kept unrestored as a memorial to the devastating earthquake of 1755.
An ideal gift to give to a sailor or fisherman. This nautical blessing could also be given at a farewell ceremony or as retirement present. (The contemporary frame option is not shown as the tile is marginally too wide for the frame)

Dimensions: 11.2cm x 8.8cm
