Deep Ocean Blue Handmade Pottery Straight Bottle
Sorry, this item is sold out!
A truly unique exquisite wheel thrown bottle vase form featuring Marietta's unique metallic finish, or otherwise luster, that gave it this unique reflective surface.
h: 6" (15cm) and approx. 2" dia.
The iridescence is achieved by adding 12% 22k Gold in powder form into the glaze and the piece is fired multiple times including a reduction firing (absence of oxygen during firing). The dragonfly wing effect is done by hand-painting.
You can use this with dried flowers, it is decorative and does not hold water. An excellent gift for a housewarming party or a wedding.
