Red-Gold Celtic Knotwork Dinner Set

Description

Every meal tastes better on handmade pottery!

This 3-piece porcelain dinner set was thrown on the potter's wheel and hand carved. The knotwork is designed directly on each piece and carved into the porcelain when it is leather-hard (dry enough to hold its shape but not completely dry). No templates or molds were used, and each knot is unique. A Roman numeral is inscribed on the bottom of each piece indicating the number of "strands" in the knot.

Each piece is glazed and fired to approximately 2300°F (1,260°C). The iron colored glaze used on this set has a wonderful matte finish that gives the porcelain a more rustic feel. All pieces of the set are microwave and dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended, especially for the goblet. The goblet stem is hollow and there is a small hole in the bottom (hidden in my signature). If the goblet is allowed to soak, water can enter the stem and it will be difficult to dry.

The plate is approximately 9.75" (25 cm) in diameter and 1.25" (3 cm) tall. The border knot is made up of III strands.

The bowl is approximately 5" (13 cm) in diameter and 3" (7.5 cm) tall. A II strand knot is carved around the exterior.

The goblet holds approximately 12 oz (350 mL). The goblet measures 3.75" (9 cm) in diameter, and it stands a total of 8.5" (21.5 cm) tall. The side of the goblet bowl is carved with a single strand knot.
