Porcelain Pottery Jar with Black and Gold Bees
This is a charming jar decorated with black and 22k gold butterflies. I made this out of a white porcelain clay body. I threw it on the potter's wheel. The exterior decoration is a transfer technique which is a silkscreening technique of black bees as well as many overglaze gold decals of bees sealed permanently on in a third kiln firing. The patterns are sealed permanently into the clay by the glazing process. A clear glaze is over the entire piece. Please appreciate the slight variations and imperfections that are the signs of hand made pottery. This pot is approximately8.5" tall x 6" wide.
