¡¡UNIQUE PIECE!! Bright white and translucent light blue porcelain vessel. It is a midsize translucent porcelain vessel very decorative. Also it is useful for soups, creams, salads, sauces, etc. Or dry foods such as fruits, nuts, french fries ... It is also useful for flower arrangements, for example. Its unglazed base is normal in handmade ceramic pieces. This is not a problem since the porcelain is vitrified and is completely waterproof. It is also polished, so it cannot affect the surface of the furniture if it is properly used. Main Color: Light Blue and White Surface Type: Shiny Glaze This piece was fired two times at high temperature (bisque fire at 1080ºC – 1980ºF, then I glazed it and it was fired at least once again at 1250ºC - 2280ºF). This midsize translucent porcelain vessel is a unique and unrepeatable piece. It is a work of high craftsmanship, elaborated and carefully designed in all its details. The piece has a mixture of contrasting colors that make it very special. This vessel is made of translucent porcelain and due to its size and wall thickness it is basically a decorative piece, although handling it with great care it could be a piece of daily use. Because of the thickness wall of this translucent porcelain vessel, I recommend wash it by hand. Porcelain is a harder material than stoneware, although it is more delicate to work with. It allows to make thinner walls and can be translucent. This makes it perfect for special pieces and lamps and not so much for everyday use ware as those of stoneware or porcelain with normal thickness walls. I prepare by myself the glazes, with balanced formulas, using high quality raw materials. So, they properly melt on the piece in the final firing. Thus they are transformed into coloured glass. They become in an inert material that does not be altered by the acids of some foods. I glazed this piece with a glossy transparent glaze, and a translucent light blue glaze. It has a sinuous line made with black porcelain. Into the kiln the glazes melt and mix creating unique and unrepeatable effects.
