The SLO Mermaid Company was founded on one eccentric aquarium collector’s desire to bring back the great deco aquarium ornaments from the 1920s. These beautiful ornaments are made of bisque (unglazed porcelain) and painstakingly hand-painted using techniques that were used on the originals from the 1920s. The porcelain (or bisque) has been fired twice in a kiln to help prevent color fading should you decide to place this in your fishbowl or aquarium. Originals of these ornaments sell to collectors from $50.00 to $800.00 or more! Each SLO Mermaid ornament is strictly limited to a 5,000 piece production run! We hope you enjoy a small taste of aquarium history. Check back with us for new ornaments and a vintage section. Your comments and questions are always welcome! Email us at: info@slomermaid.com
