Features

Underglaze: The application of colored decoration to the surface of a piece before it is glazed, allowing for detailed and intricate designs that are sealed and protected by a clear or translucent glaze.
Wheel Thrown: A pottery technique where clay is shaped into forms on a rotating potter's wheel, allowing for symmetrical and rounded shapes, often used for creating bowls, vases, and other vessels.
Illustrated: Hand-painting or drawing on the clay surface with underglazes or colored slips before the glazing process, showcasing artistic imagery or motifs.
Lustre: A metallic glaze that gives ceramics a shiny, reflective surface, applied over a fired glaze and then fired again at a lower temperature to fuse the lustre to the surface.
Gold Lustre over underglaze: Features luxurious gold lustre applied over underglaze for an opulent finish. It uses real gold applied as a complex liquid salt, that is painted on and fixed in a third firing.
