Ceramic pear, hand made, ideal gift

This beautiful unique ceramic pear is made by hand and decorated with a 'pear' celadon glaze. If you are looking for an ideal gift, something a bit different this maybe what you are looking for. This lovely ceramic pear would look great on a mantelpiece, window sill or book case, adding a splash of colour to your home.

Made with stoneware clay it is hand carved out of a solid piece of clay which is hollowed out. The stem is then added and decorated with a dark brown glaze. It is very tactile and feels like an actual pear, with all the little indents that you find where you have pressed it to see if it is ripe enough to eat! Each pear I make is a one off and different to the next, all slightly different in size and shape but each one glazed in this vibrant 'pear' celadon glaze which is slightly transparent and shows through the grit in the clay to give a slightly speckled effect underneath the glossy glaze finish.

The stem is strong but is delicate so please handle with care, it is probably best to hold this ornament by the pear rather that the stem when moving it.

Packaging and shipping
I will wrap this pear very carefully with recycled bubble wrap and corrugated cardboard to give additional protection round the stem and then more bubble wrap and chips and place it in a strong box, it will be posted by Royal Mail signed for second class.

This beautiful pear is not a toy and is quite heavy so please make sure children do not play with it.
