Small Cobalt Blue Hydrangea Leaf, Ceramic Dish with Gold Accents
This small delicate leaf dish is special place for small earrings or a special ring. The ceramic dish is accented with real 22kt gold.
This leaf dish is made by pressing a real Hydrangea leaf into smooth porcelain-like stoneware clay - It's then dried, bisque fired, colored and glazed, and kiln-fired once more at approximately 2200 degrees Fahrenheit. The piece has the translucent deep blue beauty of kiln-fired ceramic, while showing off the intricate detail of the leaf. Real 22kt gold 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 long and 3.5 inches wide.
These ceramics are individually made by hand from start to finish, and slight variations and organic shapes are what makes them unique pieces of art.
