They represent tranquility as they float in calm waters and go with the flow. The jewelry dish here is a tiny pond surrounded by tall grasses - the \"pond\" is the imprint of a beautiful Nasturtium leaf.  The tiny duck floats in the center, safely surrounded by beautiful greens and hand painted grasses.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe piece begins with the imprint of a Nasturtium leaf - once the dish is sculpted, the tiny duck is sculpted from the same clay and joined to the dish. After a preliminary kiln firing, I apply the colors and glaze, followed by a second and higher temperature firing (this one over 2200 F). Real 22kt gold accents are applied by hand and the piece is kiln fired a third time to melt and bond the gold. It's a labor-intensive process with unique results.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dish is approximately 5 inches in diameter. Please allow slight variations and imperfections which make these handmade sculptures as unique as a fingerprint.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vuvu Ceramics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44972845727952,"sku":null,"price":265.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0605\/2472\/4432\/files\/IMG_7528.jpg?v=1774831978","url":"https:\/\/www.vuvuceramics.com\/products\/white-duck-on-a-sparkling-pond-ceramic-dish-with-gold-accents","provider":"Vuvu Ceramics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
