Flute Shape Bowl, Ceramic Flower Shaped Bowl

Description

I made this ceramic serving bowl to resemble a large yellow flower. It will make a unique decorative dish for any dining table.

Approximate SIZE — 8″ x 6″ and 3″ high.
Capacity is 24 fluid ounces or 3 cups.

COLOUR — Canary Yellow, Medium Sky Blue and Medium Green with a transparent brown running over the yellow and blue.

I turned a bottomless cylinder. Once it was leather hard I carved it and fluted the rim to look like a giant flower. I added a slab of clay to the bottom. After it dried on my drying shelf, for a couple of weeks I hand-painted the colours on it with yellow, blue and green underglazes.

I then fired it in my low-temperature kiln to about 2300 degrees. A clear glaze and then a brown glaze was painted on.

Along with a full kiln of pottery this bowl was fired at a temperature of about 2900.

Dishwasher and Food Safe.
