Porcelain Pottery Vase with Royal Blue and 22k Gold Butterflies

NEW PATTERN. A limited edition series. The butterfly is a symbol for Mother in Asian cultures. With 22 karat gold decals. 

This is an elegant shape suggesting the art deco movement. It is decorated with royal blue butterflies with a gold stripe and 22karat gold butterflies. Heavy bottom to support blooms. I made this out of a white porcelain clay body.  I basically finished this piece with a clear glaze over the entire white surface, fired twice, then applied overglaze gold decals of butterflies as well as multicoloured painterly decals in purples/pinks of butterflies that are fired in to the surface of the clear glaze 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 approximately 8" tall x 4.5" wide(exterior measurement). Signed "Sullivan, Canada" on the bottom.
