This is a handmade ceramic state ornament. It is glazed with a crystalline glaze. Crystalline glaze is a process of creating or growing a crystal in the glaze during the kiln firing process. The flower shapes you see on the ornament are crystals we have grown in the kiln. The crystals grow randomly so this truly makes each ornament one of a kind!

The Alaska state ornament is glazed in 5 different colors. Lime Green has a green background with a darker green crystal. Seafoam has a seafoam background with a seafoam crystal, this glazes background also has tiny crackle lines in it. The piece is not broken it is a characteristic of the glaze. White and gold has a white background with a gold crystal. Light blue has a cream/blue background and a light blue crystal. Cobalt blue has a cobalt background with a cobalt crystal.

The Hawaiian state ornament is glazed in 2 different colors for the water while the islands remain the same dark green/brown color. The seafoam has a seafoam background with a seafoam crystal, this glazes background also has tiny crackle lines in it. The piece is not broken it is a characteristic of the glaze. The blue has a blue background with a blue crystal. In order to get a more realistic Hawaiian ornament each one is hand formed. Each island is also hand painted with an under glaze 3 separate times and then glazed with the crystalline glaze for the final fire. Because of these additional steps this ornament will cost a bit more than the other states.
