They are bisque right now and I need to make a few decisions. I could leave them as they are, I could glaze them with clear glossy glaze or I could paint them. Not quite sure yet what I’ll do.

The free-form dish measures approximately 6.5 inches across at it’s widest point and has been glazed with a deep purple glaze to enhance the pattern, then fired again in my kiln. Although it is food/dishwasher safe, of course I recommend gentle handwashing with mild soap and water.

Whether used for candy, soap or jewelry, this delicate and elegant heirloom quality conversation piece is sure to be admired and treasured for generations to come. Now available at my etsy store. www.etsy.com/shop/nolimitsart
