Poppy flower bowl

Description

I'm really happy with these cheerful poppy flower head bowls.
This one would make an elegant holder for a floating candle. It can also be used in the bedroom, bathroom or kitchen to put jewelry in. The texture and color inside this dish are so pretty that you'll probably want to keep it empty as it looks great on its own for decoration.
It was formed by hand, by me, from a single piece of clay, and is not made using a mold or a potters wheel. I scratched curvy lines into the surface of the inside to create the petals, and stamped circles into the base. Its delicate shape is given strength by my use of a very strong, textured, white clay, which I fired to stoneware temperature. This one is glazed with a deep pinky red shiny glaze in the textured imprints, but I didn't glaze the rest of it because I wanted the natural beauty of the white textured clay to shine through and create contrast.

This piece measures approx 3.5 x 3.5 x (height)1.75 inches
(9 x 9 x 4cm)
