Hummingbird and Ground Morning Glory Vine
Hummingbirds are a beautiful symbol of positivity, joy, and freedom. They sparkle with light as they dart around gardens like tiny fairies. I also love how feisty they are - if you have hummingbirds in your garden you probably know that they are quite spirited and brave as well! Here the hummingbird is paired with ground morning glory, one of the flowers hummingbirds rely on in early spring, a spreading vine that is a miniature version of regular morning glory.
This ceramic dish is made from smooth porcelain-like stoneware clay, dried, bisque fired, glazed, and high-fired once more at approximately 2200 degrees Fahrenheit. The glaze is a glossy warm white with the beauty of a kiln-fired ceramic, showing off the intricate detail of the handpainted flowers. Read 22kt gold is applied to the flowers and to the hummingbird and then kiln-fired a third time to bond the gold to the piece. It is a labor intensive process that is worth the extra step.
Measurements: Approximately 5 inches wide
These pieces are individually made by hand from start to finish, and slight variations and organic shapes are what makes them perfectly unique. Each one is a little bit different because they are each pressed from a real flower and then sculpted by hand.
