Hand-made Ceramic Crocodile Jug, made in South Africa

About the Item

Crocodile Jug by Ardmore Ceramics. Hand sculpted by Octavia Mazibuko and hand painted by Fiko Mfuphi in South Africa. Measuring 11 inches high 5 inches in length and 4 inches in width. Each Ardmore ceramic piece is a collaborative process. Some pieces begin with the thrower creating the shape on the wheel. Then the sculptor hand-forms the figurative elements in clay. Realistic animals and foliage take shape in skillful hands, before the finished piece is fired in the kiln and allowed to cool. The piece is then given to the painter who skillfully paints it. Upon completion, the piece is fired in the kiln again. The next step is the glazing. Once glazed, the piece is fired a final time and ready for sale.
