ABOUT THIS PIECE
....................................
This one-of-a-kind ceramic salt cellar is to be placed next to stove to make your cooking even more pleasurable or next to your bath for your favourite bath salt.
The reason I created this Salt Cellar was to remind me when my mum used to cook in our house in Brazil. Over there we don't usually use salt and pepper shakers but we place our spices and salt next to the stove in big cellar and we pinch them with our hands. That's why I hand paint "pitada de alegria" which means Pinch of Joy in Portuguese (I have hand painted the translation on the bottom of the salt cellar to help you to remember, Ha!)

MATERIALS
....................................
White slip casted by me and my team, I hand paint the salt cellar in pastel pink colour with three coats of underglaze paint. After the bisque firing, I glaze inside and outside of the salt cellar with a non toxic, food-safe clear glaze. After the glaze firing, I then decorate with Australian Gum Blossom flowers ceramic decals creating an UNIQUE design. Lastly I painted the little top of the salt cellar with pure gold and it is fired for the third time at lower temperature to provide strength and durability.
On the salt cellar, I hand paint the words 'Pitada de Alegria' which means "Pinch of Joy" in Portuguese as a subtle way to spread seeds of love part of the concept of the collection 'Life Is'. Alternatively, you can personalise your salt cellar with your own words. Just let me know!
>>>>>>> Please note due to the hand-painted nature of this piece and usage of vintage transfers, no two are alike and the product images are as a reference only. All of my pieces have three small marks on the base from kiln props (where I place the stilt). This is the highlight of buying something handmade and unique!
>>>>>>>> All of my ceramics are handmade in my colourful studio on the Gold Coast, Australia amongst mango trees in my semi-rural home in Tallebudgera.
