Majolica hen and eggs platter - decorative - large rectangular - hand painted - Ooak - grow your own food movement for just $170.00
Laying hen in the center, surrounded by eggs inspired by the grow your own food movement. Decorative, hand made and painted majolica tray, is rectangular. The edge of the bottom rim is also hand painted and the flat bottom of the back has a polished terra sigillata for a smooth finish that is not glazed. Would be a welcomed gift for a house warming gift. Could be hung to make a lovely wall ornament or placed on a plate stand on a shelf. approximately 15"tall by 10.5" across. Each piece of pottery is made in my front porch studio. Though small I make it work, but I make in stages. I fill a bisque kiln with green ware, raw dried clay. Once the greenware has gone through a bisque fire and removed from kiln the studio is cleaned up as I prepare to hand dip each piece. I can only dip as many as I have room for, so I may dip a part of the bisque ware at the time and as pieces are finished with painting and put in kiln in wait for the glaze fire, I will then glaze more. When the kiln is full I glaze fire this takes approximately 10 hours plus time to cool, because I like to warm up everything for about 6 hours before raising the temps. I use materials that are food safe, you may want to hand wash as I cannot guarantee their outcome in a dish washer.
