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, so each one is unique. 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 pink-red shiny glaze with darker accents in the textured bottom and layers of washy glaze on the outside to create the almost transparent effect of poppy petals. I left the outside unglazed to create contrast and let the natural beauty of the creamy clay shine through.

This piece measures approx 4 x 4 x (height) 1.5 inches
(10 x 10 x 4cm)


(Please note, the cost is $27 for the bowl pictured in the main image.)
