Each dish began as a 1/2 lb ball of clay that was flattened with a rolling pin. It was then imprinted with another round dish to create a uniform indentation with an organic rim that is dictacted by the shape of that flattened ball. It was then dipped or splat-ed with colored underglaze and finished with a clear glaze.
Each dish is approximately 5" in diameter and 1/2" in height.
The Blue-Green Splat dishes are slightly larger: approximately 5 1/2" in diameter and 3/4" in height.
Small "Ball" Dish
This piece was made by hand in Houston, TX and fired in an electric kiln to over 2200°F.
It is finished with food-safe glaze and is microwave and dishwasher safe.
We recommend using a coaster under vases and pieces with unglazed bottoms when filled with liquid to protect wood surfaces from condensation.
**Each piece from OCTceramics began as a lump or slab of clay, and through an 11+ step process of shaping, drying, firing (twice!), and glazing, it became a one-of-a-kind object. There may be variations in shape, size, glaze, finish, and color -- but these are what make it special and remind you that this item was 100% made by hand.**
