Wee Porcelain Pottery Bowl/Carved Single Koi
I made this out of a white porcelain clay body. I threw it on the potter's wheel, trimmed the bottom with a foot ring so the bottom is glazed as well. The koi decoration has been carved in to the original and a masterpiece mould made of that. I then make repeats of the very complex form by press moulding on to a mould on the wheel. A soft ice blue glaze is over the entire piece. Please appreciate the slight variations and imperfections that are the signs of hand made pottery. The wee bee bowls are approximately 1.5" tall x 3.5" wide, they are hand made so no two bowls are identical. Signed "Sullivan" on the bottom.
