Give your rings, earrings and other small treasures a beautiful place to rest. This handmade porcelain dish features a vivid blue crystalline center, framed by soft blue and cream glaze. Its small, round shape makes it an easy accent for a vanity or bedside table.
The crystals form unpredictably in the glaze during firing, so each piece has its own unique pattern. They are permanent in the glaze and will not fade over time.
The bottom is unglazed and signed by me. Starfish shown in some photos is not included.
SIZE: 3.5 inches round x 0.75 inch high
WEIGHT: Approximately 3 ounces
Kiln-fired with a nontoxic, lead-free glaze.

WHAT MAKES CRYSTALLINE GLAZE POTTERY SO SPECIAL?
Crystalline glazing brings art and science together. Unlike ordinary pottery glazes, crystalline glazes are specially formulated and fired using a carefully controlled kiln schedule that encourages crystals to grow within the molten glaze.
At temperatures around 2,000°F, the crystals begin forming in unpredictable patterns. Their size, placement and shape can never be completely controlled, so no two crystalline-glazed pieces will ever be exactly alike.
These glazes also become extremely fluid during firing. An individually fitted firing ring and catcher tray must be made for every piece to collect the glaze runoff and protect the kiln. The process requires extra preparation, precise firing and considerable finishing work. Its failure rate can be high—but when the firing succeeds, the results make the entire labor-intensive process worthwhile.
