10.75 x 3.25 Inch Functional Art Ceramic Platter authentic Handthrown Purple Copper

Magnificent Wide Copper Purple Ceramic Functional Artistic Centerpiece for any location, and Platter or Shallow Serving Bowl, perfect for family dinners, hosting dinner parties, and entertaining as a serving platter, salad bowl, vegetable bowl, a great compliment magnet!

I handmade this pottery with white stoneware clay on a pottery wheel. After drying for a day or two, I trimmed it for a solid, sturdy foot. After about a week or two it dried thoroughly, and I kiln bisque-fired the bowl to cone 04 (1945 degrees F) for over 24 hours. I then painted and glaze layered it with 3 premium glazes, Purple Crystal, Seaweed and Ancient Copper, by applying multiple layers of each and drying between each coat. Finally l fired this stoneware bowl to cone 6 (2232 degrees F) for over 24 hours.

High temperature firing results in stronger more durable pottery—might survive into infinity!

Entertaining serving platter, Party serving bowl, Coastal decor, Bedroom, living room decor or entryway key holder, Unique gift.

Dimensions in Inches:
3.25” high

This one exquisite platter or serving bowl you see in the photos is exactly what you would receive since every single piece I make is completely unique and special like you are.

Glaze painting with multiple layered glazes is my passion and often experimental. Pieces usually come out differently, even when I think I have used the same materials, glazes and temperature process. This means most of my work is one of a kind. This is mainly because stoneware glaze can run quite unpredictably at high kin temperatures. And that is where the magic lies!

Non toxic, food safe, lead-free, dishwasher safe, oven authentic safe, microwave safe and even freezer safe (as in for holding ice cream). Of course, please avoid huge and sudden temperature changes such as a transfer from oven to freezer—this will result in damage.
