HAND-PINCHED ENGLISH PORCELAIN SIDE PLATE with painted butterflies.

ALL PLATES ARE HAND-CUT, PINCHED AND SHAPED LIKE A SCULPTURAL PIECE. ONCE FORMED THEY ARE SLOWLY DRIED TO PREVENT WARPING, THEN ARE SPONGED TO REFINE THE FORM. WHEN DRY THEY SPEND 24 HOURS IN THE KILN IN A BISQUE FIRE AT 1800 DEGREES F. AFTER COOLING AND REMOVAL FROM THE BISQUE FIRE, THE PIECES ARE GENTLY HAND SANDED AND SPONGE BATHED. THE ART IS APPROACHED IN A PAINTERLY MANNER. CAREFUL MARK-MAKING BALANCES THE PLAYFUL INTENTION BEHIND EACH WORK OF ART. THE BASE IS HAND SIGNED, THE PIECE IS GLAZED AND THEN FIRED IN A GLAZE FIRE FOR ANOTHER 24 HOURS AT 2300 DEGREES F. THE PERIOD OF TIME FROM START TO FINISH FOR ONE PLATE IS ABOUT 1 MONTH IN THE MAKING.

APPROXIMATELY 7.5” DIAMETER

HAND-WASHING IS RECOMMENDED FOR YOUR FUTURE HEIRLOOM.

Please note: I have one side plate 5 in stock, available for immediate dispatch.
