Made to Order Zinnia Fruit Bowl in Emerald

The Zinnia fruit bowl is the newest addition to the 'Garden' Series of tableware. Zinnias thrive in the summer's heat. I particularily love the 'Bernary' variety which unfolds with layer upon layer of petals, appearing as a giant pillow.  I sculpted each of these flowers over a week, petal by petal to cover every inch of a large wheel thrown bowl. 

Process:

The initial sculpted pieces was cast in plaster, creating a mold from which successive pieces can be made. The porcelain clay is now pressed into the mold to capture the original detail, a foot is added to the piece to add lift, and the bowl is carved with a petal motif rippling the underside. Once it is loosened from the mold, the rim is hand cut for an organic undulating edge which will vary a bit from piece to piece. A medallion with signature and date finishes each piece. 

Glazes offered are complimentary to each other and were selected to bring forth the design in different notable fashions. 

Emerald - This glaze pools to deep green tones in the recessed areas of the bowl, and breaks in rust tones over the fullest parts of the petals. The color is dynamic and lively. 

Measurements:

As each is made individually, allow for some variance between pieces.
