Blue, Black and White Crackle-Surfaced Ceramic Sphere, Hand Built Sculpture

About the Item

Blue, black and white ceramic sphere. This 3-inch piece is coated in many layers of "Terra Sigillata" a liquid clay that has been used in ceramics around the world for centuries. Here, it crackles in the first firing and is washed with colored oxides to accentuate the crackle lines before the second firing. Soft to the touch (a wonderful inherent quality of "Terra Sigillata") it is an object of contemplation, amusement, and weight. It is not glazed. Dry sponge to clean, do not submerge.
