Hyacinth Pot Small Oval Plate.

Earthenware dish made by hand from a slab of terracotta clay. Shaped over a mould, cut and smoothed with a rubber kidney, white and lilac slip is then painted onto the surface ready for decoration. Bisque fired when dry, then decorated by hand using a ceramic pencil. The piece is then signed, waxed, and coated in a transparent glaze and placed back in the kiln for one final 1080 degree centigrade firing.
