Dragonfly, Ceramic Dish with Gold Accent
The dragonfly captivates us with its beautiful wings and flight, seeming like a messenger from magical world. The dragonfly symbolizes transformation and introspection, letting go of anything that holds us back. This ceramic dish features a beautiful dragonfly with touches of gold.
This dragonfly ceramic dish is made from smooth porcelain-like stoneware clay, dried, bisque fired, glazed, and kiln-fired once more at approximately 2200 degrees Fahrenheit. The dragonfly is made by a combination of carving and imprints, and then it's painted by hand before being fired in the kiln to full vitrification. The glaze is a glossy warm white with the beauty of a high fired ceramic, showing off the intricate detail of the gorgeous wings of the dragonfly. A real 22kt gold overglaze is applied and the piece is then 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
