IT’S HANDMADE

This listing is for one of a kind footed ceramic plate with colorful sgraffito berry design created with colorful underglazes, using sgraffito technique.

This original footed plate is entirely hand-built and hand painted using colorful underglazes and food-safe transparent glaze.

At first I built the plate using fine terracotta clay. Once the softness of the clay had reached ‘leather-hard’ stage, I carefully applied the underglaze and painted as well as carved out the design with folk-style motif. Then I let the plate get fully dry.

Next, the decorated plate went into the kiln to be bisque-fired at 1000 degrees Celsius. Then I added transparent glaze, and it went into the kiln again for the second firing.

This plate is lovely to touch, with carved lines against smooth transparent glaze, adding to it’s charm.

The footed plate is entirely food safe. It can be put in a dishwasher, but I would recommend washing it by hand.
