Majolica tray - hen and eggs platter - whimsical decorative - small rectangular - hand painted - Ooak - farm life inspired - laying hen for just $90.00 Hand painted laying hen, chicken surrounded by eggs. This small majolica tray is hand made, one of a kind. Beautiful addition for your country kitchen look. Inspired by the popular trend of growing your own food in the city. The bottom is also hand painted and sits on a round foot ring and the bottom of the foot ring has a polished terra sigillata for a smooth finish that is not glazed. This was the very first of this imagery and is liked so well that I put it on larger trays as well. 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 9" long by 7" 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.
