Medium porcelain bowl with Australian blue fairy wren and pink flowering gum

An original, handmade porcelain bowl that was wheel-thrown, and a perfect size for a small or side serve. A whimsical image of a pair of Australian fairy wrens perched in a pink flowering gum tree is carved into the surface using a technique that originated in Korea known as mishima, in which I incised the drawing into leather-hard clay and then inlayed a black slip (liquid clay) into the illustrated lines. The bird details, flowers and leaves are then hand-painted with underglazes. A clear glossy glaze is applied over the entire piece.

Dimensions:

18cm (7 inches) diameter x 9cm (3.5 inches) tall

This is a perfect medium bowl for a single meal serve, or a small shared dish. It comfortably holds a little more than 2 cups (16oz). 

** Locally supplied fine porcelain clay and glazes
** Glazes used are food-safe
** Microwavable and dishwasher proof (although hand-washing is recommended to prolong the life of your piece)
** Suitable for both cold or hot contents

Please note: Handmade ceramic wares by their very nature are unique, inconsistent and may have some imperfections that do not detract from the beauty and function of the piece. Instead, these are indications of the maker's hand and I encourage you to embrace them. Although I make multiple small bowls, each one is unique. The size and shape will be similar but never identical.

I create each of my pieces in my home studio in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. I'm often drawing inspiration from the florals found around our beautiful city neighbourhoods and parks.

Perfect as a thoughtful and unique gift for any special occasion.
