Ladybug Dish with Dandelion Seed Head, with 22kt gold accents
Ladybugs are not only the protectors of the garden, they are also said to foretell good luck and romance. This cute ladybug ceramic dish is perfect for jewelry, trinkets, a special ring, or an incense cone. The ceramic dish is imprinted with a real dandelion with seeds floating into the sky. The ladybug's wings are open in flights after the seeds floating away. The rim of this ceramic dish is accented with real 22kt gold.
This ladybug ceramic dish is made from smooth porcelain-like stoneware clay, dried, bisque fired, glazed, and high-fired once more at approximately 2100 degrees Fahrenheit. The glaze is a glossy warm white with the beauty of a high fired ceramic, showing off the intricate detail of the dandelion seed head which has been enhanced with delicate carving and coloring of the clay. A real 22kt gold overglaze is applied and 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
These pieces are individually made by hand from start to finish, and slight variations and organic shapes are what makes them perfectly unique.
