Sleeping Tabby Cat Jewelry Dish with Fennel Flower and Gold Accent
A tiny little tabby cat is curled up sleeping near sparkling fennel fronds and a yellow fennel flower, creating a magical little spot for your rings or small jewelry.
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 delicate botanical imprints are from real fennel fronds and a very small fennel flower. The sweet tabby cat is meticulously handpainted with colored glazes and is the charming centerpiece of the dish.
The glaze is a glossy soft clear. Real 22kt gold overglaze is applied to the rim in a special process, and the dish is fired a third time to bond the gold to the piece. It's a labor intensive process that gives a special finishing touch.
This jewelry holder is handmade from start to finish, entirely by me in my California studio. Each piece is a labor of love that I hope will bring light and joy into your home.
