IT’S HANDMADE

This listing is for a one of a kind ceramic serving plate with a Japanese pottery-inspired bear and flower design on a black background. Design is created with colorful underglazes, using sgraffito technique.

This original footed clay dish is entirely handbuilt and hand painted using various 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 applied underglazes and drew as well as carved out the design with folk-style motif.

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 very tactile, with carved lines against smooth transparent glazes, which add to it’s charm.

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