Poppy flower bowl

Description

I'm really happy with these cheerful little poppy flower head bowls.
This one would make an elegant holder for a little tea light or votive 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 might 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. 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 soft pink shiny glaze on the inside with darker accents in the textured bottom. I used layers of washy glaze inside to create the almost transparent effect of poppy petals, and I left the outside unglazed because I wanted the natural beauty of the white textured clay to shine through and create contrast.

This piece measures approx 3.5 x 3.25 x (height) 1.5 inches
(9 x 9 x 5cm)
