I started making porcelain fortune cookies at a time in my career when I had no idea of what to make at that moment.
I remembered when Mr. Rogers went to tour a fortune cookie factory, and decided to have a go at making some.
Now I enjoy making them as a break in between other pieces, whenever I need a little down-time.
As an added bonus, they happen to look great in a bowl as a centerpiece. I have also discovered that they will work well as place-card holders, as in the 2nd photo. Great fun for a dinner party or a wedding. Contact me if you would like a larger quantity.
They are made of the same porcelain as my other work. The intentional lack of color is meant to keep people from trying to eat them.
That said, I wouldn't keep them anywhere that small children could get a hold of them.
They are 2 inches round, and about 1 1/4" high at the middle of the cookie. About the same size as a real fortune cookie.
They do not have fortunes inside; the paper would burn up in the kiln. So don't try to break them apart; you may cut yourself!
Fired to cone 10 (2380 degrees F), they are very durable and can be cleaned in the dishwasher if they get dusty. Each is hand-sculpted, not molded, so each one is slightly different. Just like real cookies!
They will come to you in a Chinese Take-out box- new, not used... That would be rude!
