Pink Camellia (Sasanqua) Flower Jewelry Dish with Gold Accents
This lovely ceramic dish is imprinted with real Sasanqua Camellia flowers which bloom typically in December, adding unexpected color and fragrance to the garden at a time when most plants are no longer blooming. Sasanqua Camellia, like other Camellias, symbolizes unyielding love. The delicate floral and leaf imprints are made in clay which is then bisque fired, carefully handpainted with underglazes, and then fired to 2200 degrees F for full maturity of the ceramic. Real 22kt gold accents are added to the piece, and the piece is fired again to bond the gold to the ceramic.
This ceramic jewelry or ring dish is a one-of-a-kind handmade art piece, made by me in my California studio. The dish measures approximately 5 inches wide.
Please allow for slight variations in these dishes as they are made with real flowers and leaves, and each dish is sculpted one at a time, each treated as an individual piece. The organic variations and shapes are what makes each of these handmade ceramics unique.
