Glazed Terracotta, Porcelain slip
Approx 35cm
This is a large, hand-built serving dish crafted from terracotta clay. It features a porcelain slip surface, adorned using the sgraffito technique to create intricate illustrations. These designs are then hand-painted with oxides, a traditional ceramic pigment with roots in ancient practices. The motifs draw inspiration from illuminated manuscripts, alchemical symbols, and the intricate patterns of medieval and Elizabethan embroidery. Designed to serve both aesthetic and functional purposes, this piece is equally suited to adorn a table or a wall.
